Hungarian-Chinese Technology Transfer Centre

In 2012, the Bay Zoltán Research Institute established the China-Hungary Technology Transfer Center, a joint venture between the Ministry of Science and Technology of China and the National Innovation Office.

The main objectives of the centre are:

  • support bilateral technology transfer,
  • facilitating Hungarian SMEs’ access to the Chinese market,
  • support the use of innovative Chinese technologies in Hungary,

The cooperation has resulted in dozens of business, research and investor contacts, which have contributed to strengthening Hungarian-Chinese innovation relations.
