Change language:
On the score of research, development and innovation, Hungary is closing the gap with the rest of the European Union, and has risen to 21st place in the innovation ranking, according to a fresh European Commission report.
In the category of “up-and-coming innovators”, the country is ranked first on the 2022 European Innovation Scoreboard, the ministry of culture and innovation said on Wednesday. The EC report published on 22 September shows that Slovakia, in 23rd place overall, and Poland (24th) ranked behind Hungary, while Czechia ranked 14th in the group of “moderate innovators”.
This year, compared with the EU average, Hungary’s performance is 69.8 percent, 3 percentage points up on its performance in 2021 and just below the 70 percent threshold of so-called moderate innovators. Compared with the 2015-2022 period, its performance is 7.1 percentage points higher.
