The European Commission has approved Hungary’s €4.1 billion Cleantech Investment Program (CISAF) in Hungary, a scheme aimed at expanding manufacturing ...
On June 25, 2025, the European Commission adopted the Clean Industrial State Aid Framework (Clean Industrial State Aid Framework, „CISAF”), which allows Member States to accelerate the green transition of the manufacturing industry, the spread of clean energy and technology, and the decarbonization of the sector through targeted state aid. How long can Member States continue to introduce state aid to support the green transition?

Several of these projects are set to begin operations by late 2025 or early 2026. Pest County (including Budapest) leads in the number of investments, with 19 companies choosing this logistically advantageous region. It’s followed by Hajdú-Bihar County with 10 investments and Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén with 7. ...
