According to the Digital Decade report 2026, Hungary is at 57.32% of individuals aged 16-74 with at least basic digital skills after a decrease of 1.3% annually since 2023 and now stands below the EU average of 60.39%.

2026 Digital Decade Eurobarometer report for Hungary reflects Hungarian citizens' attitudes, priorities, and concerns regarding digital rights, AI, and the EU's digital policy goals based on research conducted between February and March 2026.

Hungary boasts good fibre infrastructure and a strong position in digital public services for citizens, especially in access to e-Health records.  

The Hungarian National Coalition was established with official launch in December 2016 as a response to the critical situation in the digital labour market, which has for years encouraged IVSZ (the ICT Association of Hungary) to think together, plan, develop and communicate manifestos and strategies. 

Under the digital state pillar, the strategy aims to enhance digital development in public administrations, establish a data-driven administration, and develop smart settlements and areas. The National Social Inclusion Strategy 2030 focuses on improving digital literacy, developing digital infrastructure in disadvantaged regions, and enhancing IT infrastructure in schools. 

The Hungarian Recovery and Resilience Plan (RRP) allocates a significant budget to digital transformation, aiming to develop a skilled workforce through digitalizing education and research. The plan also focuses on modernizing higher education, promoting adult learning, and developing vocational education and training institutions.
