H u n g a ry – th e Gateway to Eu ro pe
Whether for tourism or business, Hungary is an ideal destination for everyone. 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.

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.

The Hungarian Food and 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.

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.

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.

INVESTMENT SUMMARY
Industry
Agriculture, Biotech, Renewable energy
Our Paulownia hybrids can be readily planted into deteriorated soils of very
poor nutrient content and may be irrigated with saline water. The plant is
sufficiently heat resistant to be planted under tropical climatic conditions.
The plantations can be harvested at the age of 8 and grow back from stump
over another 8 years, one plant is capable of being harvested three times
in its life cycle. The plant plays an important role in mitigating desertification
and climate change, its high quality and high calorific value timber serving
as a raw material for the timber and biomass industry, its leaves as green
fodder or compost. Currently, 26 alternative ways of utilizing the hybrid and
its derivative products have been identified.
Executive summary
Development of intercropped plantations of a hybrid of the Paulownia species specifically developed for the climatic conditions of the Carpathian
basin, aimed at stopping the desertification of the Great Hungarian Plain.
This will include continuous research to extend the project to the establishment of self-sustaining green plantations in the Sahara and the Arabian
Peninsula.

Provide a short description of the business
In the remote parts of the country, where the soil is excellent for agriculture,
we have established processing plants. Through the purchase of inexpensive but high quality produce, as well as growing our own vegetables, and
the employment of this technology, we have started to market our products.
The market for our products has increased, and we were able to develop
our pricing policy with an appropriate profit. In addition to the vegetables, a
need developed for the packaging of fruit (sour cherries, cherries, strawberries), and consequently we also started to package these. Nevertheless, we
need to expand capacity in order to package the fruit because our current

INVESTMENT SUMMARY

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.

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

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).

Executive summary
The application of personalized medicine helps to detect disease at an earlier stage when it is easier to treat effectively. In addition, it enables the selection of optimal drug therapy, reduces trial-end error prescribing and adverse
drug reactions; this in turn increases patient compliance with therapy. At
research level, personalized medicine reduces the time, cost and failure rate
of clinical trials.

Description of your product(s) and/or services
The diagnostic service covers DNA and RNA isolation, quantification of CYP
mRNAs (CYP-phenotyping) and identification of genetic defects (CYP-genotyping) from patients’ blood (or leukocytes). On the basis of these results,
the patient’s drug-metabolizing capacity will be qualified. Screening CYPstatus regarding ’poor or ultra-rapid metabolizer’ phenotypes will promote
the development of an appropriate strategy in drug therapy with appropriate
drug-choice and dose adjustment resulting in more effective medication
with less adverse reactions.

Executive summary
Our company, Pentacore Labs is a biotech company specialized in medical
diagnostics. We have a high-tech top of the line portfolio. Most of them are
not available at the moment by any other providers in the world. We are able
to detect a number of inherited diseases even prenatally, select the best
treatment option for cancer patients, evaluate the risk for the development
of certain malignancies, and screen for common tumours, such as colon or
prostate cancer. Most of our tests have been developed by us.
We provide a cancer panel (MALIGNON) including the sequencing of dozens
of genes important in determining individualized oncotherapy in different
malignant tumours. The most extensive breast cancer panel (BREASTON
and BREASTON Plus) in the world containing 16 genes is able to predict the
risk for inherited breast and ovarian cancer as well as helping to determine
the proper treatment for the patients. Our thyroid cancer panel (THYREON)
can predict the likelihood of “cold nodules” transforming into cancer. We
can provide the most sensitive test for prostate cancer (PCA3) and screening method for colon cancer (SEPTIN-9). We can detect hundreds of inherited diseases in one single step (TARGETON). We also offer other genetic
and biochemical tests that are unique in their areas of interest.

4dsmile.
FUNDING
REQUIREMENT (EUR)
10 000 000 EUR
After retirement as a headmaster, based on the work experience gained in
the school, along with representatives of the Local Government of Dabas,
I set up Kognitiv Hungary Ltd. in order to make a contribution towards a more
innovative education and training.
Soon after the foundation, our company became the Hungarian distributor
of EON Reality (California, USA), which is a worldwide leading company in
the stereo 3D industry.
As a result of successful cooperation, EON Reality has made a substantial
discount offer of stereo equipment in case a development centre in Dabas
would come into existence.
Additionally, EON Reality would prepare and train the staff of the development centre in order to ensure the smooth business start.
however visualization hardware without an ample quantity of 3D content is
useless, so as a result 3D content need becomes more urgent. The main
aim of this development is to set up a fully equipped 3D development centre
in order to create interactive 3D models for domestic use, but mainly for
foreign markets. With regards to the type of 3D content, it depends on
the profile of the customer, though the variety of models can be very wide
encompassing natural environment, historical sites for cultural and tourism purposes, education content of any type etc. Besides the 3D development, the other main profile of the IDC Dabas would be presentation activity
aiming to show the potential of stereoscopic 3D not just to Hungarian target
groups, but Central European ones as well.

Description of your product(s) and/or services
Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease that destroys cartilage and bone severely damaging the quality of life. In order to evaluate the
progression of the disease a scoring method based on x-ray images is
applied.
So far the scoring process is performed manually, therefore on one hand it is
a time consuming task, on the other hand it is not free from human error and
is not reproducible. Bifarma Ltd. offers AutArt, a comprehensible solution
which solves the above mentioned problems. By the unique combination of
image processing, data mining and medicine, AutArt:
• provides an accurate diagnosis
• gives faster results (2 min/patient on average instead of half an hour)
and
• is objective, reproducible and eliminates human error

Hungary has excellent natural resources for the utilization of renewable
energy, in particular regarding solar, wind, biomass, biofuel and geothermal
energy. The sector is poised for growth in Hungary, due to the still untapped
capacities and the pledge by all EU governments to increase renewable
energy usage by 2020. In the case of Hungary, this means that the
current 8.7% in the energy mix will increase to 15% in the next 8 years.

HUNGARIAN INVESTMENT PROJECTS
Introduction
REASONS TO INVEST IN HUNGARY
• Hungary receives as much as 2,200 hours of sunshine a year
• Regarding geothermal energy, the geothermal gradient in Hungary is
almost one and a half times as high as the world average, and represents one of the country’s natural treasures
• Hungary’s renewable energy potential is more than 2200 PJ/year
• Hungary’s photovoltaic potential is about 480 billion kWh
(based on potentially installable solar modules)
• Hungary is among the top five high-tech exporters in Europe
Why Hungary?
• Significant resources and unused capacity, with extensive investment
opportunities
• “Made in EU” tag
• Logistics hub: excellent transport system
• Highly skilled, innovative labour force, with an exceptional cost/quality
ratio
• World-class quality of life
• Tailor-made incentive system
• Well-developed infrastructure
• Emerging renewable energy market
• Renewable energy is a preferred and supported sector of the government
• Over 200 industrial and technology parks of international quality available for green and brown field developments
OVERVIEW
SOLAR ENERGY IN HUNGARY
There is notable solar potential in Hungary, currently however only a limited amount of solar capacity has been constructed. The 1 MW output of
installed PV-systems in Hungary, means that there is still a lot of room for
96

RENEWABLE ENERGY
HUNGARIAN INVESTMENT PROJECTS
growth. 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

Executive summary
The main objective of the bioethanol, biogas and biomass plant project is to
produce fuel quality bioethanol and green electric power. The aim of combining the three plants is to utilize synergies. Bioethanol is produced using
maize as raw material. The by-product of ethanol production is the main
feedstock of the biogas plant, meanwhile the biogas- and biomass plant
provide heat and electric power for the bioethanol production.
Bioethanol will be sold in Western Europe, a contract is already signed with
one of the biggest redistributors: Mitsui GmbH. Electricity can be fed into
the national system or later to an open market in Europe.
The main input is corn and during the production phases most of it is used,
so there is only a small surplus material remaining.

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.

Executive summary
Technologies based on renewable energy sources have become more than
just demands of the green movement.
The first step in building the Balatonfűzfő Biorefinery is planned to be a
technical facility which can function as an independent economic unit and
produce competitive products.
The factory works with natural substance such as starch, wheat and sweet
sorghum to produce lactate acid through biotechnology. This lactate acid
is the basis of many plastics and solvents, with the company being able to:
manufacture biologically degradable plastics from renewably sourced stock;
produce environmentally compatible lactic acid and calcium lactate. (Conc.
95% lactic acid is the raw material for polylactic acid (plastic industry).
Description of your product(s) and/or services
Enzymatic saccharification of the starch suspension results in glucose which
lactic acid bacteria can use. The neutralizer used for glucose lactic acid
fermentation is ground limestone. The bacterial mass, cell wall remains
and other dissolved proteins, sugars and oligosaccharides as well as nondesirable additional compounds are used in a biogas plant. The calcium
lactate produced by fermentation goes through a concentration method.
Concentrated calcium lactate is a marketable product in itself. Sulphuric
acid is added to produce lactic acid, which is further purified through distillation to produce solutions of a concentration suitable for commercial sale
(85%) or a 95% lactic acid solution suitable for polymerisation.
Any other relevant information
Auxiliary units of the biorefinery include the water treatment plant, cooling system, a biogas facility where all the liquid waste is used, as well as the power
plant running on biogas. Another product of the biogas facility is desiccated
sludge or biological fertilizer which can be used after storage to replenish
soils. The final facility supports operations which are profitable and easy to
upgrade.
The biogas firm is part of the project because of exploitable technical sewage.

The main objective of the bioethanol plant project is to produce fuel quality
bioethanol from maize. The plant is going to be built on the industrial site of
Mátra Power Plant with the aim of utilizing synergies due to the cooperation between the two plants. The coal based power plant will supply the
steam and electrical energy to the bioethanol plant, and the by-product of
the bioethanol plant will be utilized by the power plant as feed stock. Thank
to this cooperation the bioethanol plant receives electricity and steam at a
lower price while the Power Plant can use a renewable resource, so it will
save CO2 quota. With this setup the Bioethanol Plant is able to produce
biofuel with the lowest energy costs and minimal waste.

Travelling around the world we found critical situations in big cities where
the quality of the air becomes so poor that it results in smog alerts. The premier reason for this is the pollution by cars and (public) transport vehicles.
Pressured air vehicles are a technology that would dramatically improve this
situation. We show two different production lines for different designs of
pressured air cars that can be very competitive alternative transportation
equipment.

Turnkey factories to manufacture and sell locally
It envisages the notion of Dealer/Manufacturer/Associate by proposing turnkey factories in order to produce and sell locally. Contrary to huge conventional assembly factories (that are particularly polluting), the AirCar concept
sets up numerous production micro-factories spread all over the area. They
are equipped with all the necessary workshops to manufacture 80% of the
vehicles and to commercialize their products on the spot.
The products are shown on the pictures.
The vehicles have the following properties that make them unique:
• light in weight, small in size
• easy to handle
• refuelling means simply changing the tanks
• easy production, self-supplying chain
Any other relevant information
The project is based on a license agreement with the inventor. The cost of
each production line contains the licence fee and a special agreement and
distribution structure with the owner of the technology.
We have chosen three types of vehicles to cover most of the market
demands, such as small city vehicles for personal use and cargo, family sized
vehicles and buses.

There is significant potentials in the production of SRC/ biomass in Hungary as 85% of the county is suitable for agricultural activities. The main
factors responsible for the growth of Hungary’s agriculture are fertile lands,
availability of water and a favourable climate. Locally grown biomass could
be used for heating greenhouses, heating plants, etc. Heating costs can
be reduced by 70 percent by exchanging old oil or gas burners for a new
biomass boiler system. Using biomass as fuel is a very cheap way of producing large amounts of food and energy. In Hungary there is shortage of
these kinds of activities, therefore there are considerable opportunities for

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.

Tourism has developed into a global driver of economic development in recent
years and the European Union remains the world’s most popular destination.
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.

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.

offer with complex tourist services, built on the thermal water of the 12 acre
island. The project includes development of accommodation, water attractions and fun pools. The high mineral content of the precious thermal water
from 1860- metre depth, its temperature (50 °C) and output is the key to the
success of the investment. The feasibility study is available; on that basis
elaboration of a detailed development plan, licensing plan and construction
plan are required. Preparation of the project – plans, studies, negotiations
– will take about 1.5 years, construction approximately 2 years – by simultaneous building of the hotel and adventure pools. The project can be completed within 3.5 years of setting out.

The 12 hectare island, Papsziget, in the Szentendre branch of the River
Danube is just about “paradise on earth” with its huge trees and untouched
environment. In order to avoid flooding it is necessary to construct an embankment around the territory. This can be carried out utilizing the earth gained
from the construction of a port on the north-west of the island.

whole-sale business as a flagship of other gourmet products under our
own brand. Provided that the enterprise is lucrative there are expansion
possibilities on our neighbouring properties as well as by buying further
plots around the mill.

floor is equipped with a spa offering body treatments and saunas looking
out to a small lake. We use green energy and will be family friendly with easy

introduce homemade apple cider. We plan to organize wine-tasting events
in our mill-cellar as well as at our vineyard. Through our local partners we
offer additional activities connected to our region. Parking is planned on the
neighbouring plot, which also provides an expansion possibility.
