Govt awards Ft 390bn IT tender after elections
The results of a Ft 390 billion public procurement tender announced in March 2025 were published two days after the election by the Digital Government Agency, now overseen by the Energy Ministry.
The agency was transferred to the ministry last year after a reshuffle that reduced the portfolio of Antal Rogan, who had previously supervised it.
The scale of the tender – awarded in large, bundled lots – has raised competition concerns, despite dozens of IT firms being named winners in 16 categories, HVG observes.
Four companies secured contracts in two groups: 4iG Informatikai, Telekom Rendszerintegracio (formerly T-Systems), IMG Solution, whose dominant owner is Gabor Szentgyorgyi, the wrestling partner of Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s brother, and Panor Informatika which is Maltese-owned, with Gabor Emori in the background, the owner of the i-Cell group of companies that developed the road toll system, among other things.

Hungary grants first certificate for green hydrogen production
The Hungarian Energy and Public Utility Regulatory Authority (MEKH) has issued its first operating license authorizing the production of renewable hydrogen and the registration of guarantees of origin.
This license, which marks a milestone in Hungary’s hydrogen market development at the national level, was granted to the Kardoskut facility of gas storage company Magyar Foldgaztarolo in Bekes county.
Under EU rules, the MEKH oversees the issuance and tracking of guarantees of origin, which aim to ensure transparency for consumers regarding the source of energy.
The certification confirms that the Kardoskut plant can produce green hydrogen using renewable electricity via water electrolysis, including proton exchange membrane technology. (portfolio.hu)
