DIMOP Plusz: where do we stand in early 2026?

We are well aware of the overall scale of the EU funding available to Hungary for the 2021–2027 period, and from the perspective of digital transformation, DIMOP Plusz (Digital Renewal Operational Programme Plusz) remains one of the most important programmes.

What has changed compared to the end-of-2025 situation?

In our previous summary, we presented the DIMOP Plusz envelope at around HUF 763.7 billion, and we found that the calls already launched and those expected by the end of 2025 together indicated commitments exceeding the original envelope.

At the beginning of 2026, however, the framework for overcommitment was also introduced at the level of legislation: the total DIMOP Plusz envelope may be overcommitted by up to 20.04%, resulting in the Programme’s total envelope increasing to HUF 909.9 billion.

The figures below already reflect this total envelope of HUF 909.9 billion (including overcommitment), based on the updated list of calls.

The table below presents the total allocation, the amounts already launched (2023–early 2026), and the envelope planned for 2026 (HUF billion):

Priority Name of priority Total allocation Launched so far 2026
1. Smarter Hungary 358,10 268,83 89,28
2. High-tech and green transition 166,63 150,63 16,00
3. Connected Hungary 102,23 102,23 0
4. Digital Skills 173,91 150,91 23,00
5. Strategic Technologies 45,70 0 45,70
6. Training related to Strategic Technologies 63,34 0 63,34
Total   909,91 672,6 237,32

What does this mean in short?

Based on the envelope figures, the main focus of DIMOP Plusz is already clearly visible at the beginning of 2026. Within the total programme budget of HUF 909.9 billion (including overcommitment), the largest share still sits under Priority 1 (around 39%), meaning that business and institutional digitalisation remains the backbone of the programme. This is followed by Digital Skills (19%) and the Hi-tech and Green Transition (18%), indicating that technology investment and the human-capital dimension together account for most of the budget.

The more forward-looking signal is the internal structure of the HUF 237.315 billion planned for 2026: nearly half of this is allocated to Priorities 5–6 (Strategic Technologies and related training). This is likely to bring a more industry-focused emphasis in 2026, increasing the chances for projects linked to critical technologies that also build capacity and skills/knowledge. At the same time, no new 2026 envelope is visible under Priority 3, and the remaining room under Priority 2 is already limited, so entry opportunities there are likely to be narrower and more selective.
