Why Hungary?

It's a question we get asked a lot and the answer is simpler than most people expect.

Hungary sits at the heart of Europe, with direct access to the EU single market, a flat 9% corporate tax rate (the lowest in the EU), and no withholding taxes on dividends, interest, or royalties. For international companies looking to grow in Central Europe, the numbers make sense from day one.

But it's not just about taxes.

Geographically, Hungary connects Western and Eastern Europe through modern transport infrastructure, making it a natural hub for manufacturing, logistics, and services. In 2025, with Hungarian Investment Promotion Agency - HIPA's support, Hungary attracted €7.07 billion in FDI across 108 projects, creating over 18,200 new jobs. That's not an accident.

Add a skilled, multilingual workforce, competitive operating costs, structured government incentives, and a pragmatic economic policy that welcomes investors from both East and West and you start to see why more and more companies are choosing Hungary as their CEE base.

That's exactly the opportunity we're here to help you unlock.
