Somekey market gaps in hungary „Hungary’s public sector investment as a share of GDP is well above the EU average, while private sector’s investment is slightly below it. Of the six strategicpriority sectors the transport and energy, and ICT sectors received the largest share of investment resources. In contrast, the environment and resource efficiency and RDI sectors received just 2% each to the total investment in Hungary, thus showing potential for boosting investments in these sectors.” AsidentifiedbyPwCcommissionedby EIAH

Somekey market gaps in hungary Strategic transport and energy infrastructure • Transport infrastructure • Project identification: scoping of transport infrastructure due to limited strategic planning at present • Project preparation: preparing urban mobility, waterway projects, long-distance railway networks, support with preparation of PPPs • Financial structuring: financing schemes in transport (use of financial instruments) • Energy infrastructure • Project identification, preparation, and delivery: energy grid connection infrastructure Environment and resource efficiency • Project identification and preparation: waste management projects RDI • Financial structuring: developing business cases for newer financing schemes (venture, crowdfunding) • Capacity building: improve knowledge transfer between multinational companies, local companies and the national research system; advice on available funding EU funding sources and how to access them AsidentifiedbyPwCcommissionedby EIAH
