The Levente project, Hungary’s initiative to develop a 20 PetaFlops mid-range supercomputer, is a EuroHPC JU-supported endeavor aimed at bolstering Hungary’s compute infrastructure. Current delays in implementation are due to economic challenges related to the pandemic and other geopolitical factors. Once operational, Levente is expected to significantly enhance Hungary’s capacity for computationally intensive R&D and support large-scale AI projects across industries.

EgészségAblak (myEESZT) is Hungary’s national mobile health app, launched in Q2 2024 as part of the Recovery and Resilience Plan. Managed by the Ministry of the Interior, it offers secure access to personal health records, prescriptions, appointments, and vaccination data. By mid-2025, it surpassed 170,000 active users. The app aims to enhance patient engagement and healthcare efficiency, with full rollout expected by June 2026.

The Digital Culture Curriculum in Hungary introduces students in grades five and eleven to the foundational concepts of AI. It builds a basic understanding of the technology from an early age. Teacher training programmes support this effort by equipping educators with the skills to effectively deliver AI education.

Supported by Hungary’s participation in the Important Project of Common European Interest (IPCEI) on Cloud, the FedEU.ai project led by Hungarian E-Group aims to foster cloud and AI capabilities within Hungary. FedEU.ai enhances cloud-based infrastructure and services, contributing to secure, scalable AI solutions for businesses and government entities in Hungary.

As part of Hungary’s strategic engagement with the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking, the Komondor HPC system was installed in 2023 through the Governmental IT Development Agency KIFÜ at Debrecen University. With a computing power of 6 PetaFlops, Komondor serves as a critical resource for Hungarian universities, research institutions, and SMEs, providing computational support to drive advancements in research, innovation, and AI-driven projects across various sectors.
