Gabor Bojar

Gabor Bojar was one of the very few entrepreneurs of Central-Eastern Europe to succeed in global business already in the years of state-socialism. He founded his own firm in 1982. Bojar and his partner started in business with a programmable HP calculator with 2K of memory. They were trying to win a bid to write software for a contract with a Hungarian engineering company.

Graphisoft, a software development company focusing on 3D architectural design, grew rapidly and in a decade became one of the top three software vendors of the sector internationally. Along the way, Bojar founded, built and sold Apple's distribution business in Hungary, under the name of Graphisoft Trading, but the software business remains his major concern.

Graphisoft relies on its network of independent distributors to meet current and future business goals. The multinational software corporation works with dedicated distributors in 80 countries and hundreds of Value-Added Resellers (VARs) and Systems Integrators who ensure that customers receive support and personal attention wherever they are.

In 1998 The Wall Street Journal named him as one of the ten most successful entrepreneurs in Central Europe
