Hungarian Investment Promotion Agency

Following the European Commission’s approval, Hungary will be among the first Member States to introduce a support scheme complementing the Clean Industrial Deal (hereinafter: CISAF). Pursuant to point x of Ministerial Decision No. 1/2026 (I.12.), the scheme will enter into force on December 18, 2025.

The CISAF aid scheme enables Hungary to grant non-refundable cash grant for those investments that contribute to clean technologies in the following areas in accordance with EU State aid rules:

1. The manufacturing of products falling under the scope of the Net Zero Industry Act (NZIA) (e.g., manufacturing of solar PV systems, thermal energy storage systems, geothermal power plants);
2. The production of main specific components related to these products;
3. The production of new or recovered related critical raw materials is necessary for the above mentioned products in point 1 and 2.

Under the current conditions, the incentive shall be available throughout Hungary until December 31, 2030 for undertakings which can demonstrate that, in the absence of the aid, the investment would have been carried out outside the European Economic Area (EEA), subject to the theoretical maximum thresholds indicated in the table below:
