Over her beautiful 93 thousand square kilometres, Hungary is home to nearly 10 million people. Situated at the crossroads of Western and Eastern Europe and as a member of the EU, NATO and several international organizations, Hungary provides a politically and economically stable location for doing business. The HITA is a one-stop agency for all types of FDI and is tasked with administering all state grants that are currently available. Whatever the needs of foreign investors, the HITA is there to provide information and support for the decision making process. The agency can also provide tailored advice, recommend locations and organizes visits to possible sites for the interested parties. For investors, the country boasts several location-specific advantages and a highly trained and motivated workforce. Hungary’s excellent transport infrastructure makes the most of its position as a hub for four major European transport corridors. With over 1,300 km of motorways, 7,600 km of railways and six international airports the country is well served to meet the growing transport needs of the region. The salary costs are very competitive with the rest of the region and Europe. To ease entry into the market, the government, at state and local level, is investor friendly and business focused. Most important state means of promoting investment: • cash grants based on individual Government decisions • applications co-financed by the European Union • developmental tax discounts • grants to create jobs • grants meant for training Hungary’s economy has been transformed since 1990 due to foreign direct investment (FDI), resulting in the introduction of advanced technologies and increased added value from innovation. It is a testament to the confidence in the economy that Hungary has received in 2010 around 68 million Euros in FDI which accounts for some 20% of the total inward FDI stock in the CEE region. This investment is equivalent to 6,800 Euros per person and is the second highest per capita rate in the region. One of the competitive advantages Hungary has, compared to other countries in the region, is the government’s strong commitment to easing business processes and to increasing the competitiveness of both small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and large enterprises in Hungary based on the wide range of available incentives. Both refundable and non-refundable incentives are available to investors coming to or intending to expand their capacities in Hungary. The main types of incentives related to investments are cash subsidies either from the Hungarian Government or from European Union funds, tax incentives, low interest loans, or land available free or at reduced prices. The regulations on incentive opportunities are in accordance with EU rules.

IMF – International Monetary Fund HCSO – Hungarian Central Statistical Office In January 2011, the government created the Hungarian Investment & Trade Agency (HITA) to encourage investment into Hungary by foreign businesses, promote bilateral trade, and support foreign trade activities by Hungarian firms. The goal of the agency is to strengthen investor confidence and subsequently increase investment, specifically targeting inward investment into the economically disadvantaged regions. The HITA aims to promote FDI by organising and hosting seminars and shows to provide information on investing in Hungary. 4 5 HUNGARIAN INVESTMENT PROJECTS Ta b l e o f C o n t e n t s AGRICULTURE 14

Agricultural sector is visibly competitive internationally according to European standards. Within the framework of the Hungarian Agriculture and Food sector, traditional approaches and modern technologies are combined equally in order to create an outstanding quality for food products and substrates. Due to ideal climatic conditions and soil quality, Hungary can establish the large scale production of high quality raw materials necessary for the food sector. 9 AGRICULTURE HUNGARIAN INVESTMENT PROJECTS Introduction REASONS TO INVEST IN HUNGARY • The food processing sector is among the most modern in the CEE region with significant foreign investment • Physical infrastructure is considered to be one of the best in the region, readily facilitating distribution • Recent logistical projects have expanded storage capacities and have improved the efficiency of transportation • The only net exporter in the CEE with a 7.3% export ratio • Long traditions in the industry and abundant raw material supply • Strong market: per capita consumption levels are among the highest in the region OVERVIEW Agriculture Hungary is naturally well-endowed for agricultural production, which is clearly shown by the fact that almost two thirds of the country’s total territory is dedicated to this type of production. Agriculture has traditionally been an important sector in Hungary’s national economy. The thousand-year-old agricultural traditions are based on the country’s geography, climate and highly fertile soils. Half of the area is used to produce several types of cereal grains. Hungary’s total area extends to 9.3 million hectares. The cultivable area was measured at 7,775,000 hectares in 2010 – 2011, including forests, reed-beds and fishponds. The agricultural area covered 5,783,000 hectares, i.e. over 62%, which is considered high among the European countries. In 2010 – 2011, 78% of this cultivable area was arable land, and 17% was grassland, while kitchen gardens, orchards and vineyards had a combined share of only 5%. The economic activity represented by the land base represents 3% of the national GDP, some 2.7 billion Euro. There is a great demand in the EU market for Hungarian horticultural products, which are rich in taste and flavour. Major crops of Hungary in terms of quantity and yields are: wheat, maize, sunflower, barley, rape, potatoes, dry onions, tomatoes; major fruits are apples, apricots, wine grapes, strawberries and cherries. The gross output of Hungarian agriculture came to 5,440 million Euro in 2011. The main agricultural products of the country by region: • Great Hungarian Plain: wheat, maize, beans, vegetables, tobacco soybean and many others, widespread breeding of poultry • Southern Transdanubia: maize, sugar beet, rape • Western Transdanubia: wheat, maize, potatoes, rape • Central Transdanubia: maize, peas, rape, sunflowers etc. Horse-breeding is strongly present in the region • Northern Hungary: Two of the traditional wine-districts are located here (Tokaj, Eger) Food Industry The food industry is traditionally one of the most important sectors of Hungary’s national economy. Including the food, soft drinks and tobacco subsectors, this industry is the 2nd largest employer and the 3rd largest producer of the processing industry in Hungary. Being one of the most modern and competitive food sectors in the CEE, its export revenues are vital to Hungary’s overall trade balance. Hungary is the only net exporter of agricultural and food products in the region. The industry provides 5.31% of the country’s exports. Hungary has good fundamentals for food processing and agricultural activity. Inputs for the industry are available in large quantities and to a high quality. Hungary’s physical infrastructure is considered one of the best in the region, considerably facilitating distribution. Per capita food and beverage consumption levels are among the highest in the region. 10 11 AGRICULTURE HUNGARIAN INVESTMENT PROJECTS Some indicators of the Hungarian food industry, 2010-2011 Output (million Euros) People employed (thousands) 2010 2011 7,288 7,295 125 124 Share in manufacturing industrial production (%) 10.7 10.8 Export (million Euros) 2,553 3,037 Import (million Euros) 1,427 1,728 Share in total export (%) 3.6 3.8 Average monthly wages (Euros) 570 550 Foreign capital represents 48% in the industry. Some 70% of the total production is provided by major companies. Most food industry companies (more than 96%) are micro-enterprises that employ fewer than 10 people. Approximately half of the food industry businesses operate as private entrepreneurs. The sector is dominated by multinational companies, especially in vegetable oil processing, confectionary and snacks. There are about 200 large food producers altogether, two thirds of which are in foreign hands. Large producers primarily use Hungarian raw materials. The meat and poultry, fish and game, vegetable and fruit processing, mills and baking industry are mostly in Hungarian ownership. Out of the 500 largest Hungarian companies, 37 are from the food industry. The majority of these firms are active in milk processing, meat and poultry, soft and alcoholic drinks, confectionary, tea and coffee, canning, and vegetable oil subsectors. Investments in the Food sector of Hungary Foreign direct investments (FDI) are having an overall positive effect since they greatly contribute to the technological modernization of the industry. Invest- ments in the food processing industry aim to increase the competitiveness of the sector by raising market adaptability and the speed of concentration. The priority is to conform to EU standards in quality, food safety, animal protection, hygiene and environmental protection. In economic terms, the sector is practically integrated into the EU’s food industry. EU investors provide 47% of the investment in the sector, and more than two thirds of the exports go to other EU countries. The processing of meat, the manufacturing of coffee and tea and the manufacturing of soft drinks are the sectors with the highest share of FDI in the Hungarian food industry. This demonstrates the roughly equal weight of factors of competitiveness other than the supply of Hungarian raw materials (factors like logistics, relatively cheap labour costs etc.) Recently, the share of FDI has significantly increased in the production of vegetable oils, which was the recipient of nearly half of the inflows of foreign capital into the food industry in 2011. The processing and preservation of fruit and vegetables and the manufacture of pet food have also been popular targets of Foreign Direct Investments in Hungary.

Mr Tamás Mészáros Mobile: +36 30 470 6762 Email: tamas.mt@freemail.hu Description of your product(s) and/or services 2 000 000 EUR INVESTMENT SUMMARY Industry Agriculture Executive summary Our company has been trying for years to develop a means for the preservation of fruit and vegetables without freezing and transporting them. Up to now the solutions have not been particularly good because the fruits and vegetables could only be preserved for a short time and transporting them proved to be expensive. We have solved these problems by employing pre-cooling as they are dried after cleaning. They were then packaged with vacuum packaging after pre-cooling, and after further cooling; we transported them to the customers. By these means, fresh fruit and vegetables can be preserved for 20-30 days longer without any decline in quality. More and more producers are looking for markets for their produce, and since storage capacity is difficult to arrange, they turn to a company for packaging to which they can sell their fresh produce without having to transport it too far. With this in mind, our firm can purchase better quality products cheaper. Consequently, costs can be reduced, which can be largely passed on to the buyer so that the circle of customers can be guaranteed for the long run. The advantage of vacuum packaging is that the product is protected from dust during transport, possible damage from impact, and the changes in the weather. As a result, it can be consumed 20-30 days later without any decline in quality and in a healthier manner. Any other relevant information The ability to maintain freshness has been increased with this technology, and as a result, we are able to transport for a greater distances without diminishing quality. Consequently, efficiency can be increased, naturally with the appropriate expansion of capacity. The cooling is not achieved by deep-freezing, and so our results are achieved at a considerably lower cost.

Biotechnology, Life sciences Executive summary FUNDING REQUIREMENT (EUR) 15 000 000 EUR Dr Zoltán Oláh invented the “Molecular Neurosurgery” painkiller technology in the late ‘90s. Resiniferatoxin (RTX), the world’s most potent drug candidate, also, a prototype of other molecular surgery agents, is in clinical Phase II. However, the patent is confined to the USA. RTX is to replace morphine in severe cancer pain, but application via the skin can treat chronic inflammations and neuropathies, such as arthritis, osteoporosis and post-operation pain. RTX does not develop tolerance or have any side effects similar to morphine narcotics. Acheuron Ltd. (AL) the firm of the inventor of the Molecular Neurosurgery is in the process of extending the range of RTX treatment by production of the small molecule in a E. Resinifera farm then formulate the purified RTX in ointments for the market. Mr Zoltán Oláh CEO of AL Email: oz@acheuron.com BUSINESS SUMMARY Provide a short description of the business There are two main steps to take. The 1st is to conduct an accelerated Phase I-III dermal clinical trial with the experimental RTX cream formula/ intradermal injection; The 2nd step is to build a manufacturing facility to produce RTX and the marketable products. Ms Éva Kocsis CFO of AL Email: keva@acheuron.com www.acheuron.com Investment objective Strategic investor Expected collaboration with investor Joint Venture partner, Capital increase This project requires a 15 million EUR (3.5 million EUR for the phase I-III clinical trials on skin, 6.5 million EUR for the set up of the manufacturing capacity and production, and 5 million EUR for marketing). Considering the size of the pain relief market ($ 20 billion in the USA alone), the investment could return in the 2nd year of production and distribution. Investment return indicator 3 years Stage of development Restructuring needed Description of your product(s) and/or services The Phase I clinical trial validated excellent painkiller efficacy in 20 out of 20 cancer pain patients in 2011. Intrathecal injection of RTX aimed at the patients‘ cerebrospinal fluid surrounding the spinal cord and dorsal root pain sensory ganglia. The therapy has significantly improved the quality of life of all of the patients with advanced cancer who had been experiencing severe, refractory pain. Due to the outstanding performance (i.e. effective even in patients that have already developed morphine resistance to cancer pain) of RTX, trials have entered Phase II. An independent clinical team that has not been involved in the invention of Molecular Neurosurgery has published the 1st conference report about the great success of the Phase I clinical trial that is now in Phase II. Any other relevant information A single shot of RTX selectively targets the inflammatory pain receptor/generator neurons in the peripheral nervous system while it lacks the central nervous system complications of morphine. The technology has been claimed in application no: PCT/US01/09425, filed 1st in 2001-03-22. Although, it is patented in the US, RTX is freely usable everywhere else in the world since it is a natural substance. 44 45 BIOTECHNOLOGY, LIFE SCIENCES HUNGARIAN INVESTMENT PROJECTS Umbilical Cord Blood Cell Culture Technology Enabling Stem Cell Transplantation of Adult Patients BUSINESS SUMMARY CONTACT INFORMATION Provide a short description of the business To enabe UCB transplantation not just for children but adult patients with hematopoietic malignancies, marrow failure syndromes, and hereditary immunodeficiency, a custom expansion facility is needed. The 1st stage is to build aspecific, cGMP cell culture ready environment, equip with tissue culture instrumentation (3.5 million EUR) then hire personnel to start up initial R&D and the custom UCB cell expansion production that requires 1.5 million EUR. For start-up manufacturing and maintenance of continuous capacity needs initial operation costs and marketing fees of 2 million EUR. Considering the cost of $ 750 000/transplantation, 4 000 UCB use in 2011, with a 15% increase expected yearly due to custom UCB expansion for adult patients too, the investment returns profit in the 3rd years’ sales. FUNDING REQUIREMENT (EUR) 7 000 000 EUR Acheuron Development and Services Ltd. Mr Zoltán Oláh CEO of AL Email: oz@acheuron.com Ms Éva Kocsis CFO of AL Email: keva@acheuron.com www.acheuron.com Description of your product(s) and/or services INVESTMENT SUMMARY Industry Biotechnology, Life sciences Executive summary The unrelenting shortage of donor organs for whole organ transplantation has resulted in the use of every known method to promote successful transplantation outcomes. The unavailability of bone marrow on time for the patients, the dropout of potential donors because of graft failure, and graft-versus-host disease/GvHD problems urged the search for alternatives to bone marrow cells. Umbilical cord blood (UCB) transplantation would be an ideal replacement, but the only disadvantage is the limited number of hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) in it. Recent advances in the elucidation of the molecular mechanisms responsible for the proliferation and self-renewal allow enrichment of HSCs. Thus, UCB transplantation by in vivo cell expansion becomes available for adults over 100 kg not just children. Investment objective The UCB transplantation has become an established therapy for patients without matched related or unrelated donors, leading to cures of previously incurable disease. Among the most common indications for HSC transplantations are: acute myeloid leukaemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, chronic myeloid leukaemia, acute lymphoid leukaemia, aplastic anaemia, B-thalassemia, Hodgkin’s lymphoma, chronic lymphatic leukaemia, multiple myeloma idiopathic thrombocytopenia, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, sickle cell and Fanconi anaemia. Upon transplantation of UCB, the ex vivo cell culture enriched HSCs give rise to all blood and most immune cell types. This life-saving procedure due to the custom cell expansion will be available for adult patients not just for children below 10 kg. Any other relevant information Due to establishment of UCB banks, and the evidence of advantages over bone marrow, UCB will be the only source for HSC. Moreover, the final selection of the UBC unit for transplantation is significantly shortened. The time taken to identify a matched sample will be weeks rather than months typically required to tracking back an unrelated bone marrow donor (www.worldmarrow.org).

A new feed in tariff system (METÁR) is set to be implemented in the near future, which will result in the spread of solar energy (heat and PV) usage. Besides the support of public solar projects, the new system will encourage the building of solar power plants with bigger capacities (over 50 MW). WIND ENERGY IN HUNGARY According to preliminary data, in 2010 the share of electricity from renewable energy sources reached 7.56%. The contribution from large-scale wind turbines with power plant capacities was approximately 3.2%. The current wind energy capacity will double by 2020, which is important for the development of a green economy. 43% of country’s area is suitable for the economical utilization of wind power. In areas that are 75 m above sea level, the annual average wind speed is above 5.5 m/s. The opportunities are even more promising at higher altitudes. BIOMASS & BIOGAS IN HUNGARY Hungary possesses excellent agro-ecological conditions for the competitive production of biomass. Hungarian agriculture is capable of sustainably producing biomass in excess of food and feed demands, and at the same time there is a significant potential for biogas production. The theoretical potential of energy sources of biological origin (bio-energy) could exceed, by as much as 20%, the energy source demand estimated for 2020. Biomass potential in Hungary • Total feasible resource potential: 145-188 PJ/year, 20 million tons • Currently only a small part is being utilized • Most important resource: agriculture BIOETHANOL/BIODIESEL IN HUNGARY • Still an emerging market • Large potential in bio-fuel production from agricultural products • In the past few years more than 30 new projects were announced, including SEKAB, Rossi Biofuel, United BioFuels • New investments in biomass R&D: Monsanto, Pioneer HiBred and Agritrade SRL ALREADY INVESTED 98 99 RENEWABLE ENERGY HUNGARIAN INVESTMENT PROJECTS Different energy technologies CONTACT INFORMATION INVESTMENT SUMMARY Industry Olajgép-Tec Ltd.

Start-up company Mr Csaba Szalay Executive summary The handling and reuse of electronic waste products in which 94% of the material is reused. The production of electrical energy through the patented technology of EWR Hungary for discarded electronic waste materials, which is possible following the sale of the recyclable metal components. The production of electrical energy guarantees that it can work independently without an energy supplier. This solution can be employed in several ways. Following the extraction of the waste metals and the start of the heat production process, the heat from the waste can be used for fish production, horticulture or other suitable applications.. The patented technology has been developed by a number of specialists and researchers who have now proven its viability and operation. Currently, we have obtained a property and only require the buildings and machinery. CONTACT INFORMATION BUSINESS SUMMARY Provide a short description of the business We will be able to handle 8,000 tons of electronic waste. The end products are 98% pure metals, electrical and heat energy from waste. It is an energetically independent process once the production process is in place. In addition to the reuse of the metals and the production of energy, the sale of the heat extracted from the waste products will provide considerable profit as it can fuel additional production with very little additional investment. It is especially appropriate to high value food production systems in horticulture and much sought after. In all countries, there are computers, or home appliances, which after use become waste products, and can only be stored at great expense. This technology, however, in addition to putting an end to the cost of storing the waste will lead to significant income.

We do not see any difficulties in the acquisition within Hungary of the rubber granules used as the basic material in this technology because there are a number of firms that process rubber waste, which are ready to sign agreements with us in order to supply the material. In addition, we are familiar with the technology of grinding down rubber tires, and we can add this process to the production line at any time that it might become necessary. Executive summary FUNDING REQUIREMENT (EUR) 1 666 667 EUR Until 2010, the company produced primarily for German firms, i.e. for AGRIKON Solt, Machine and Material Ltd., Mauderer Alutechnik GMBH Lindenberg. Due to the unfavourable circumstances, the executive director of the company János Juhos accelerated the research process, which had been carried out together by József Szabó, a mechanical engineer, and László Opra, a chemical engineer. The research on the possibilities for the reuse of rubber was undertaken with environmental concerns in the forefront. The development specifically concentrated on how rubber particles could be brought, by chemical means, to near a similar state as cauchuc, or rubber tree sap. As a result of the accelerated research, the necessary technology was successfully developed, albeit in the form of small scale industry. Investment objective Financial investor Expected collaboration with investor 100% offer of the sale of the right to use the manufacturing process Investment return indicator 5 years Stage of development Project idea 124 CONTACT INFORMATION JÁ-ID Ferrum Kft. Mr János Juhos Mr Tamás Mészáros Mobile: +36 30 470 6762 Email: tamas.mt@freemail.hu The manufacture of rubber products in Hungary exceeds 150,000 tons. We can realistically plan that that our manufactured regenerated rubber products, roughly 3.8-4 tons will be used in 10% (or 15,000 tons) of the total amount. Description of your product(s) and/or services The manufacturing technology of the basic material, which has plastic qualities, is based on the chemical breakdown of rubber granules measuring 2-4 mm across. The chemically broken down material with plastic qualities is refrred to as regenerated. Since the chain molecules in the rubber are connected to each other during vulcanization by sulphur bonds, a spatial net being created during the process. The breaking down of this structure is not an easy task because the process is not reversible. The resulting sulphur net stabilized by the creation of sulphur bonds does not break down along the sulphur bonds but at other points in the spatial net. The aim of regeneration is precisely the chemical breaking down of this spatial net structure. Consequently, we obtain a reusable plastic base material, which can be further employed by the rubber industry. 125 RENEWABLE ENERGY HUNGARIAN INVESTMENT PROJECTS Pellet and Briquette factory CONTACT INFORMATION INVESTMENT SUMMARY Industry GeneralGep Kft.

The attractiveness of Eastern Europe has also grown significantly. There are a large number of sites in Hungary of great interest to European and global tourists. The significance of the tourism sector is supported by official figures showing that the industry accounts for 8.5% of Hungary’s total GDP with multiplier effects. Almost 400,000 people are employed in the sector. Within the tourism industry, Hungary is gaining territory in the health, conference and historical subsectors due to the geothermal, geographical and historical resources. 133 TOURISM HUNGARIAN INVESTMENT PROJECTS Introduction • The National Tourism Development Strategy (NTDS) (2005-2013) ensures that tourism development is prioritized by the Hungarian government. • Government bodies and HITA are ready to provide effective support for tourism investments. OVERVIEW The country is blessed with a remarkable range of tourism offers, making it an important destination for health, historical and conference tourism. Domestic tourism development represents a further opportunity to develop golf and hunting tourism, castles and theme parks. At the same time, there are already a large number of foreign companies present in Hungary, which tends to inspire confidence in new investors. REASONS TO INVEST IN HUNGARY • Steady increase in foreign visitor arrivals. Neighbouring countries are also potential suppliers due the growth of their economies. • Hungary’s relevance as a tourist destination will increase due to its favourable geographical features, its security and easily accessible infrastructure. • Unique geothermal characteristics of Hungary contribute to the growth of wellness and health tourism. Long traditions and know-how in the usage of thermal water also attracts foreign tourists. • Great potential in conference tourism in the regional capitals. Budapest has already grown into a popular MICE destination. • Growing occupancy rate in the 4* and above category accommodation. • Six cultural and two natural locations in Hungary have been assigned World Heritage status. These include the wine region of Tokaj, the city centres of Budapest and Pécs, the Abbey of Pannonhalma, the traditional village of Hollókő, the national park in Hortobágy, the Fertő lake landscape and the stalactite caves of Aggtelek. In addition Hungary’s natural treasures are well protected: 10% of the territory of Hungary is under environmental protection. • There is still growth potential in quality accommodation (especially in the countryside) due to under-development of the sector and a lack of financial capital. • Investment projects are available in the field of theme parks, thermal, golf and casino tourism, and castle renovation, please see the database of the Hungarian Investment Projects (HIP). • Competitive wages: less than half of the Western European average according to Eurostat. 134 The growing importance of the health industry is increasingly noticeable all over the world and Hungary is in a position to gain from this trend. Thanks to the country’s highly developed network of thermal and wellness spas, the thermal and medicinal springs that can be found all over the country are already an important part of the health tourism industry. Around 80% of the country’s surface has access to thermal water and favourable geothermal characteristics, which puts Hungary ahead of its competitors, such as Japan, Iceland, Italy and France. Furthermore, Hungary is generating outstanding revenues in the dental tourism sector. The high standard and reasonable price of medical treatments in Hungary means that visitors can combine an enjoyable city break in Hungary with a thrifty trip to the medical centre. Historical tourism includes cultural and world heritage sites, as well as protecting natural values and national parks, equestrian and village tourism, gastronomy and wine tourism, and special festivals and events. 135 TOURISM HUNGARIAN INVESTMENT PROJECTS Conference tourism also plays a significant role in Hungary. Based on statistics published by the highly respected International Congress & Convention Association (ICCA) in 2011, Budapest ranked 11th among the world’s top conference destinations. The development of strategic destinations is a top priority both in areas that are yet to maximize their potential and those that already draw the largest numbers of tourists. The objective and expected results of the National Tourism Development Strategy (NTDS) The strategy for the health industry aims first at the optimal and efficient exploitation of the country’s thermal water and geothermal potential. The second focus is on organizing a network from the related production and service sectors. The objective of the health industry’s development is to create a distinct, national industrial sector emphasizing the positive attributes of the country. Both human and natural benefits can provide strategic advantages to exploit. There are a number of strong synergies between the sectors of the health industry. Elements of the strategy: 1. Health tourism 2. Utilization of geothermal energy 3. Horticulture 4. Beauty industry, cosmetics 5. Mineral water production 6. Pharmaceuticals industry 7. Biotechnology, nanotechnology 8. Medical appliance engineering 9. Balneology 10. Horizontal aspects – health industry hubs 11. Education related to the health industry 12. Specialized construction industry This programme intends to provide the Hungarian economy with cutting-edge developments across diverse fields, emphasizing the uniqueness of the country. It will lay the foundation for job creation, higher incomes and an increase in the gross domestic product.
