The Hungarian Development Promotion Office was founded in 2021, with the aim of connecting the Hungarian economic and social ecosystem with European funding opportunities. The Development Office’s Headquarters are in Budapest and it has three representations: Brussels, Beregszász and Veszprém. The Veszprém Representation's aim is to support local and Transdanubian stakeholders in accessing EU funds. The Veszprém Regional Representation’s activities cover most of the Central-Transdanubian Region, with special focus on the functional urban area pilot programme of the Ministry of Regional Development, between the two county capitals Székesfehérvár and Veszprém. The Representation also builds on the legacy of Veszprém-Balaton 2023 European Capital of Culture year. MFOI Veszprém actively works on involving youth in the innovation ecosystem.
The Veszprém Representation has a dual goal:
1. Filling the regional innovation gap: Connecting innovative companies, universities, local authorities, local Chambers of Commerce, and national parks.
2. Promoting EU funding: Actively informing clients about European funding opportunities.
