The Demján Sándor 1+1 Program has reached a new milestone: payouts have crossed 100 billion HUF. This has given more than 1,350 small and medium-sized enterprises the opportunity to immediately launch their developments - whether it’s about new machinery, modern technologies, or capacity expansion. The program’s impact is already tangible in the economy.
Why is the 100 billion HUF payout such a big deal?
Because the support is not a promise for the future, it’s already present at the companies. Thanks to the advance payments, businesses are not waiting, but acting: ordering machines, starting developments, carrying out investments. This momentum directly strengthens employment and local economies.
Who are the biggest winners?
The numbers speak for themselves:
- Manufacturing: 572 enterprises
- Construction: 292 enterprises
- Commerce, transport, hospitality: 264 enterprises
- Services: more than 200 enterprises
The program didn’t just boost one sector, it gave momentum across many areas simultaneously. The winners are no longer just drawing up plans, they’re already executing them.
Where is the impact felt the most?
The Northern Great Plain region is leading the way: 287 successful applications with 23 billion HUF in funding. Even more importantly, two-thirds of the funds have gone to the four least developed regions of the country.
How does the advance payment support developments?
Thanks to the advance, companies don’t have to pre-finance their investments from their own resources for months. The money has already arrived, enabling them to place orders, start developments, and make investments right away. This is a huge relief, speeds up projects, and makes the impact on the economy felt much sooner.
How is the use of funds kept under control?
By the end of September, summer’s winners must submit a progress report proving that they have already spent at least 40% of the support on actual orders.
The message of 100 billion
The 100 billion HUF advance is not just financial aid, it’s a capital injection into Hungary’s SME sector. The investments already launched will bring productivity growth, job creation, and strengthen the economic weight of entire regions in the months ahead.
