The Hungarian economy should enter a new dimension and become an even more attractive site for research and development, Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó said at the inauguration event of US company Itron’s centre of excellence in Budapest on Wednesday.
Itron, which specialises in energy and water management, received a 412 million forint (EUR 1.3m) government grant to complement its own 2 billion forint investment, Szijjártó said.
The company’s deputy CEO for software management and services said that the software development centre in Budapest would “shape the future of energy industry”.
Itron will create 100 workplaces for highly qualified workers.
Itron employs nearly 8,000 people in over 100 countries worldwide. It is a market leader in software services and smart city solutions.
