The Hungarian Development Bank is launching two new 0% interest loan products under the EU co-financed Digital Renewal Operational Program (DIMOP PLUS) to enhance the digitalization of micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises. The scheme, starting Thursday, targets businesses at different digital maturity levels and offers grants for low-intensity firms.
The DIMOP PLUS initiative aims to promote digital transformation through two loan products.
The first, DIMOP PLUSZ 1.2.3/A-24, allocates HUF 27.8B (EUR 71.7M), with HUF 4.1B (EUR 10.6M) for Budapest projects and HUF 23.7B (EUR 61.1M) for those outside the capital.
Loans between HUF 3M (EUR 7,730) and HUF 20M (EUR 51,540) will support implementing software like enterprise resource planning (ERP), customer relationship management (CRM), cloud services, and AI technologies.
The second product, DIMOP PLUSZ 1.2.3/B-24, provides HUF 6.95B (EUR 17.9M), including HUF 1B (EUR 2.57M) for Budapest and HUF 5.92B (EUR 15.3M) for other regions.
Loans ranging from HUF 20M (EUR 51,540) to HUF 200M (EUR 515,400) will fund advanced solutions like IoT (Internet of Things), Industry 4.0, cloud computing, AI technologies, and big data analytics.
A total of HUF 34.7B (EUR 89.5M) is available across the two schemes, with the possibility for up to 50% of the requested amount to be converted into non-repayable grants for companies with minimal digital intensity.
Eligible software and services can be purchased via the vallakozzdigitalisan.mkik.hu platform, using a certified supplier list by DKF Ltd. and MKIK (Hungarian Chamber of Commerce and Industry). Applications are accepted at 156 branches nationwide, including MFB Pont Plus, MBH Bank, and Gránit Bank. Further details are available on www.mfb.hu.
