“Thanks to the investment, Hungary will further reinforce its position as one of the bastions of the European automotive industry”, the Minister said, explaining that the automotive industry is the flagship of the transition to the digital era, meaning that Hungary, which is competitive within this field, is also competitive with regard to the whole of the economy.
