He urged the development of autonomous driving technology and digital infrastructure, which will surpass the expansion of the European Union's digital process

ashko Robert, director of the Hungarian Investment Promotion Agency, saw the importance of the Hungarian automotive industry, which provides the most connectivity opportunities for the international value chain among all industries. Therefore, the Investment Promotion Bureau conducted a survey of companies operating in Hungary to help understand the manufacturer's strategy and plan. He added that these data can help decision makers customize support and incentives according to the needs of stakeholders

according to the data provided at the meeting, most stakeholders (nearly two-thirds) regard robotics as the most important challenge to carry out business in Hungary in the next few years, of which 82% plan to carry out manufacturing related development in the next two years and 63% logistics development. At the same time, most manufacturers are facing labor shortages. 61% of enterprises say it is difficult to recruit skilled labor, and nearly 40% of them plan to increase employees in the next 12 months. The survey shows that about one in five manufacturers hope to hire more than 100 workers.
