ABOUT HUNGARYQUALITY OF LIFE

For a number of years, Hungary has ranked among the top performers in the CEE region in the area of IT spending per capita, reaching

€223.4 in 2014. Companies and public institutions in Hungary are closing the gap on their counterparts in most devel-oped EU markets in terms of IT development, with the share of ICT spending as part of GDP increasing to

4.2% in 2014 – among the highest in CEE. The Hungarian IT market represents 8.3% of the total CEE IT market and is the fourth largest in Central Europe. According to IDC, the Hungarian IT market has proven to be quite resil-ient to the recent global and local economic downturn. Between 2009 and 2014, it increased by more than 24%, reaching €2.21 billion in 2014. Hardware accounted for 51.7% of the total market, while the software segment gained a 21.4% share, and services made up the remain-ing 26.9%. The Hungarian IT market is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.8% between 2015 and 2019, with an accelerat-ing growth trend toward the end of the forecast period.

Gabriella SzentkutiCEOMicrosoft Hungary

"It is a smart move to bring an ICT company to Hungary for both quantitative and qualitative reasons. Among the hard facts, of course, are unique geopolitical conditions such as the bridge role Hungary plays between the West and the East, the North-Atlantic sphere and Asia, which makes the country an ideal location from which to establish presence in more than one region from one strategic location.One also ought to mention that not only is a highly trained and highly skilled workforce already available here in abundance, but also that the country has a steady recruitment base through its renowned technical higher education system. Above all, however, is the spirit – the eagerness of Hungarians to succeed and recreate the successes of the current and former generations of inventors, entrepreneurs, and dreamers. Hungary is destined through its traditions to innovate – not just to adopt and embrace but to discover new solutions. I believe Hungary is a natural born ICT country."

High level language skills are indispensable for successful ICTs. Young Hungarians understand that, in order to be successful in today’s Europe,

linguistic skills are essential. In 2013/2014, more than 532,000 Hungarian primary school students and 340,000 secondary school students were learning foreign languages, mostly English and German. Hungary has approximately 200 bilingual primary and secondary educational institutions where 37,000 young Hungarians study in English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Russian, Chinese and in Hebrew. Since Hungary’s EU accession, there has been

a growing number of native language speakers at our universities, and an increasing number of Hungarians study abroad. Since 1997, Hungary has been part of Erasmus, EU’s largest and most successful mobility programme. Hungary is also an active participant in the Life Long Learning programme which helps to provide international internships for students.

INNOVATIVE HUNGARIANBREED ICT COMPANIES

“Balabit was established in Budapest, Hungary, in 2000. The company focuses on delivering technology-leading security software solutions to the global market. Our research and development centres are based in Budapest and Veszprém, and we work closely with the biggest technology universities in Hungary. We have 23 clients from the Fortune 100 List and offices all over Europe — in the U.K., France, Germany, BeNeLux, Poland, and Hungary — and we recently opened a representative office in the U.S. But our R&D centres remain in Hungary.

I think the strengths that make Hungary a good choice for local and global organizations as a target of their investments are the traditionally high levels of scientific education; EU membership and its unified administrative environment; the hot startup culture and community in Budapest, of which Balabit is a member; excellent communication and transportation infrastructure; and beautiful capital city, Budapest, which is a great place to live and has a rich cultural life and thus attracts foreign experts.”


INNOVATION

The innovative capabilities of the Hun-garian ICT sector are best illustrated by the high number of local innova-

Being a global company, however, it has always given priority to those countries in which business leaders and professionals welcome innovative technologies. Hungary is among those countries. Due to its high level of applied information technologies, as well as its market size, it is a great choice for companies seeking to invest.

HIPAINCENTIVES OVERVIEW

The maximum available aid intensity decreases if the investment is a large investment (exceeding €50 million): 50% of the maximum aid intensity determined in the regional aid map is available for investment between €50 and €100 million, with 34% of the maximum aid intensity for investment over €100 million.For information on up-to-date and individual incentive packages please contact HIPA directly.

Regional grants are the most typical forms of incentives for greenfield / brownfield investments or reinvestments. The maximum amount of regional incentive is shown on the regional aid intensity map. The map above illustrates that regional aid available for investment for a large enterprise may be up to 50% of the eligible costs of the investment, depending on the region. For investments not exceeding €50 million, the maximum intensity ratio can be increased by 10 percent for medium-sized and by 20 percent for small enterprises.

As a member of the European Union, Hungary’s regulations on incentive opportunities are in accordance with the EU rules. One

of Hungary’s competitive advantages over other countries in the region is the Government’s strong commitment to increase the competitiveness of SMEs and large enterprises in Hungary.Alongside the regulatory tools that contribute to the competitive business environment of local companies, Hungary offers wide-ranging incentives to facilitate foreign direct investments and reinvestments by local enterprises. Subsidies may be granted as regional aid or specific aid, such as R&D subsidies.

VIP Cash Grant may be available in case of creating 50 new jobs.
