One of the most important elements of Hungary’s new innovation strategy, the János Neumann Program, is to increase the number of Hungarian patents. Therefore, the government pays special attention to supporting the widest possible application of the toolbox of intellectual property protection, which strengthens competitiveness. In Hungary, the number of businesses that consciously pay attention to intellectual property protection and request some form of protection for the product or technology they have developed is constantly increasing.
The government’s strategic goal is to double the number of Hungarian patents by 2030

The grant amount is a maximum of HUF 7.5 million per beneficiary, the announcement states.
