Topics

The report serves as a valuable tool for all entrepreneurs and investors interested in development. It reflects the current situation in the market and provides a business perspective, identifying key trends in the economic development of companies in Hungary's largest cities.

This project has once again been made possible through the close collaboration between Enloyd, our HR consulting company, and Cushman & Wakefield, a renowned real estate expert. Their knowledge and experience were crucial in analysing the survey results and preparing the report, which is not only a comprehensive compilation of data but also a tool for strategic business decision-making. The survey included 200 decision-makers, representatives of companies operating in Hungary.

The project will include an analysis of the business environment in Hungarian cities, starting with Budapest, and takes into account important areas such as:

The city's overall assessment

• Infrastructure
• Office space
• Government support
• Education potential
• Employment potential
• Business potential
• Evaluation of the location as a place to live

The report accurately describes the specifics of the Budapest market. It contains key market information for investors, including:

• The cost of living
• Housing prices on the secondary and primary markets
• Office rental rates
• Wages offered by employers
• The number of students and graduates
• The number of employed people in the region by sector

We hope this report will become a valuable source of knowledge and inspiration for all those interested in business development and investment in the CEE market.

We wish you a productive and informative read.
