In 2026, several VIP Corporate Training & Investment Subsidies will continue to help companies establish new business service centres in Hungary or expand existing operations efficiently.
For business service centres, job creation and investment-related funding is available outside Budapest, while VIP Corporate Training & Investment Subsidies in Hungary can also be accessed in Budapest.
Job creation funding available outside Budapest for business service centres in Hungary
Establishing or expanding a business service centre typically involves significant costs beyond personnel expenses associated with new positions. These may include the creation of new office space and fit-out, installation of IT and technological infrastructure, development of an ergonomic work environment, as well as site development or real estate expansion.
Companies may be eligible for VIP Corporate Investment Subsidy if they:
- create at least 25 new jobs, and
- carry out activities that qualify as business services under the relevant government regulation,
- at a new or existing site located outside Budapest.
What costs can be covered by the VIP Corporate Investment Subsidy?
The subsidy may be granted for:
- CAPEX investment costs necessary for the implementation of service or R&D activities (land, buildings, equipment, intangible assets), or
- personnel-related costs associated with newly created jobs for a period of up to 24 months.
What level of funding can be obtained?
This is a non-repayable grant awarded based on an individual government decision.
The aid intensity depends on several factors, including:
- the size of the applicant company,
- the location of the investment,
- the business plan, and
- other characteristics of the planned investment project.

2. VIP Corporate Training Subsidy for corporate training programs for business service centres in Hungary
One of the most important success factors for service centres is a highly skilled workforce. Large-scale onboarding programs, IT and language training, and continuous professional development can represent significant costs, which is why available VIP Corporate Training Subsidy programs can play a key role.
VIP Corporate Training Subsidy may be available for companies that:
- plan to involve at least 25 employees in training, and
- implement a training program with at least EUR 250,000 in eligible costs.
What can the VIP Corporate Training Subsidy finance?
Companies may receive funding for the costs of professional, language, leadership, or digital training programs.
Eligible costs include:
- fees for external training courses and programs,
- costs of internal corporate training,
- fees for trainers and instructors,
- purchase of training materials and educational resources,
- wage costs of employees participating in training for the duration of the training.
What level of funding is available?
Similarly to other VIP Corporate Investment Subsidy programs, the training subsidy is a non-repayable grant awarded based on an individual government decision.
The aid intensity depends on:
- the size of the company,
- the location of the company’s site,
- the business plan, and
- the specific details of the planned training project.
When is it worth considering applying for VIP subsidies?
It is particularly advantageous for companies to consider applying for funding when:
- establishing a new service centre outside Budapest,
- planning a significant workforce expansion,
- launching large-scale onboarding or competency development programs, or
- introducing new roles that require employees to acquire new skills.
