The US companies considering investments are mostly SMEs aiming to introduce enhanced technology in Hungary. Some of the investors are even targeting Hungary’s underdeveloped regions. Killián noted that although the US is technically the fifth biggest foreign investor in Hungary behind Germany, the Netherlands, France and Austria, US companies usually invest through their European units, which means the figure for US investments is actually much higher.
