Hungary offers a diverse range of industrial parks: investors can currently choose from almost 206 operating sites, depending on their business requirements. Establishing a company or business in an industrial park has many advantages, such as management familiar with the local business environment, support from municipalities, well developed infrastructure and extensive services. Industrial park investments can also usually be implemented much more quickly than green or brownfield investments elsewhere.

 

 Industrial parks in numbers

• As of the end of 2007, the total area of industrial parks was about 12,500 hectares
• The export volume of the companies located at industrial parks was 5,440 billion HUF and their export ratio was 64%
• Hungarian industrial parks employ a total of 199,000 people.
• Of the 50 largest multinational companies present in Hungary, more than half have operations in industrial parks

 

Nearly half of Hungary's industrial parks are located near motorways, allowing them to be supplied by excellent logistics services.

Research and development in industrial parks

 

Industrial parks are increasingly striving to create their own unique professional profiles. As part of this drive, more and more attention is being paid to research and development within and also around industrial parks. Universities and academic institutions in Budapest, Miskolc, Debrecen, Szeged and Pécs offer excellent intellectual resources.
