The total value of investments launched so far exceeds HUF 1,100 billion, while several thousand businesses have gained access to financing or support. The key message is that a significant share of the funds has already reached companies, meaning that in many cases these developments are not merely plans but ongoing investments.
Key figures at a glance
Nearly 30,000 businesses have applied for support or financing.
More than 23,000 companies have already received the funds.
The value of the developments being implemented is above HUF 1,100 billion.
Multiple instruments for different objectives
The programme supports SMEs through several channels: equity financing, preferential loans, non-repayable grants, as well as digitalisation and export-promotion measures. Across the full programme, more than HUF 1,400 billion has been injected into the economy, and a substantial portion has already reached businesses.
Equity and lending: two key pillars
So far, the Demján Sándor Equity Programme has resulted in 137 positive investment decisions worth HUF 27 billion. In addition, investment activity is supported by an SME loan with a fixed 3% interest rate: since the launch of the scheme, more than 16,000 SMEs have submitted applications, totalling HUF 880 billion.
Investment, digitalisation, export
In the first phase of the 1+1 SME Investment Stimulation Grant, nearly 1,400 businesses received a total of HUF 108 billion, followed by a second phase with a HUF 20 billion budget to support equipment investments by rural businesses. Digitalisation is also supported through the “Every business should have its own website” programme, under which more than 6,000 businesses have received support so far; the second stage is running with a HUF 1 billion budget. The funding envelope for export-promoting loan programmes has expanded to HUF 700 billion; a significant portion has already been contracted, and HUF 310 billion has already been disbursed.
What to watch in 2026
The continuation of the programme is also on the agenda for 2026, which can enable more predictable planning for companies considering developments. The wide range of financing instruments also indicates that businesses in different situations can find solutions suited to their needs—whether for investment, digitalisation, or expanding exports.
