Our objectives are:
1. To ensure that Hungarian scientists continue to play a pivotal role in global scientific and technological
advancement;
2. To contribute to addressing major contemporary challenges through Hungarian research and innovations;
3. To strengthen the Hungarian small and medium­sized enterprise (SME) sector through innovation and
to support the development of a new technology­based innovative corporate (startup) sector.

To achieve these goals, it is necessary to both increase our research and innovation investments and ensure their efficient
and impact­focused utilization.

This publication has been initiated by the three largest governmental stakeholders of Hungarian innovation: the Ministry
of Culture and Innovation, the National Research Development and Innovation Office and the Hungarian Innovation Agency.
Their joint mission is to foster innovative approach and entrepreneurial spirit and to strengthen a social and economic
environment that encourages innovation.

The purpose of this publication is to provide a concise and illustrative overview of Hungary’s research and innovation
strategy, the achievements of the innovation ecosystem, its key players and flagship programmes.
