Change in the EKD system: even smaller investments can receive significant support

It is expected that the range of companies that can claim non-refundable cash support from the government will expand. According to the new rules, depending on the nature of the settlement, an investment of 3, 5 or 10 million euros is required for the EKD to be positively evaluated.

10 million euros is the investment threshold in the 11 most developed county seats (Győr, Székesfehérvár, Tatabánya, Szekszárd, Kecskemét, Szombathely, Veszprém, Zalaegerszeg, Debrecen, Szeged, Eger)
5 million euros in the administrative area of 7 county seats and district centers (Salgótarján, Miskolc, Nyíregyháza, Békéscsaba, Pécs, Kaposvár and Szolnok)
The limit is 3 million in all other settlements

“With this decision, the way can also be opened for companies that have not had enough funds for an investment until now. For a positive assessment and the identification of further opportunities, it is therefore worth consulting with an experienced specialist in time”
