The most important economic information
Over the past 5 years, more than 6,000 jobs have been created and foreign investment worth nearly € 2 billion has been brought to Debrecen. 700 hectares of land in the municipality are undergoing industrial development. The top investment decision, undeniably, was BMW Group’s announcement in 2018 that the carmaker would set up its new factory in the city. Construction of the plant will begin this spring.
Debrecen is also attractive because it is possible for companies to establish strategic cooperation with the University of Debrecen and the Debrecen Vocational Training Center, the mayor said, quoted by the city website.
He stressed that Debrecen’s long-term goal is to become the region’s economic, educational and cultural center, reinforcing its leadership in Central and Eastern Europe.
Another Hungarian city – Miskolc, came in 5th in the same category on the FT list, edging out Braga, Cork, and Nicosia.
