termelket
Termelket is a term occasionally used in Hungarian-language economic and regional development literature to denote a network of producers within a localized economy that collaborate to coordinate production, procurement, and distribution. The concept emphasizes interfirm relationships, shared infrastructure, and information flows across a cluster of firms, with a focus on resilience and efficiency.
