Dear Reader,

Pécs, the European Capital of Culture in 2010, is not exclusively the city of culture. Our city has faced great changes for the past two decades. It has turned from a mining city to the city of culture. By its university, the first that was founded in

Hungary, it is the city of knowledge. According to our goals it is going to turn to the city of future industry. Our future success is greatly depend on how we are able to create new jobs. The most important tool is to respond to the needs of national and international ventures, to become the home for the industrial employers and for both the producing and developing machine industry. Pécs already present intself in international outsourcing of technologies and services (SSC) concerning machine industry, environmental industry and green economy. Our aim is to become significant in these fields. Find us and we will show you that the city of Pécs has all the necessary knowledge, work force, location and the willingness to be widely known by its industry and economy.

Dear Reader,

O n b e h a l f o f t h e Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Pécs-Baranya, I would like to welcome you to this publication. Pécs is an open town today thanks to the traffic network and the EU-membership. Social and economic changes

have brought significant transformation. Ensuring stability were the SME sector and the colourful community life of the multi-ethnic population. This stability contributes to the fact that many company heads have permanently settled in our town since the arrival or market economy. Through the wide international relations of our chamber, we can convey the best practices to our members in order to develop their competitiveness and willingness to cooperate. Enjoying our members’ full confidence, these methods are readily accepted. Therefore the development, improved competitiveness and stabilized market positions of this circle is shown in numbers as well. The implementation of our economic development strategy may be observed in the environmental industry (Pécs is soon to become the town of green energy), the health industry and the creative industries. The background for these lies in higher education and research. The cluster activities under the chamber’s organisation have contributed to the fact that creativity, innovation, specialised training have become everyday practice in cooperation.

Business cooperation

In the economic life of the 21st century, more emphasis than ever is placed on the information about product requirements, technical conditions of productions, markets and research results. The purchase costs of these are often too high not only for micro, small and medium-sized enterprises, but for large companies as well. The common long-term interests and recognition of the enhanced efficiency of shared activities made the creation of clusters possible for enterprises operating in the same sector.The businesses wishing to comply with today’s demands are supported by the organisation of directly cooperating regional economic operators and external networks and information systems. In addition to the domestic chamber networks, international relations also provide help in Baranya county in this.

Energy supply

Baranya county is directly connected to the greatest electricity producer in Hungary, the Paks Nuclear Power Plant, and the national transfer grid. The 400 kV system can serve the power needs of the entire region. The security of supply is further increased by the fact, that the system is connected to the network in Croatia as well, which allows for two-way transmission. The county gas network is directly connected to the South Plains’ gas producing and pooling system, from where the adequate amounts of energy reaches the region through the pipeline system. Supply to the area is safe, the only source of risk – depending on the level of safety reserves – is the suspension of international transmission. The use of renewable energy sources is widespread in the county. In addition to businesses that use solar and geothermal energy, the local governments of Bóly and Szentlőrinc also operate on geothermal energy. Pécs is the national centre of hydrogen fuel cell development, which is of European significance.

When setting up the first industrial areas, the Pécs Council regarded accessibility as the primary factor. This resulted in the formation of the eastern and the central industrial area, the latter right in the heart of the town. The businesses located in the central industrial area are representatives of historical industries, with long traditions here: engineering, leather processing and mechanical industry. In the eastern part, with the closure of mining, formerly the primary employer in Pécs, and the complete recultivation of the area along with an extension to the south, the possibility of founding the Pécs Industrial Park was created. The local government makes areas available for substantial greenfield investments with coherent area needs (15-50 hectares with a maximum of 5% slope) with access to the national road network and adequate by all standards.

The town of Komló has been through radical economic changes in the last fifteen years. After mining was abandoned, several new enterprises with completely different profiles took over. Some of these basically make new use of the old mine premises. The industrial park was founded in 1999, at the industrial area near the former lower mineshaft. The first tenants were privatised businesses from the supporting companies of the Mecsek Coalmines, and a dozen of other companies have joined them since. The majority owner of the managing company is Komló town, hence most of the investments are financed by the local government. Standing out from previous years’ continuous developments is the 150-million HUF tender programme, the contract preparations of which is already running. The costs are halved between the town and the European Union. More roads and pavements will have been built and rainwater drainage problems will have been solved by the end of the project. The industrial park has been built on a 25-hectare area as brownfield investment. Approximately two-thirds of this has already been occupied by tenats, but more than 6 hectares are still at our future investors’ disposal.

Attracting investors Existing infrastructure: electricity is supplied through own transformer, the natural gas, water and wastewater networks are accessible and the cables of a modern communications network have already been laid. • Public lighting • Existing inner road layout • Proximity of the Komló railway station Counselling services for potential partners to facilitate their site change – on technical, legal, financial, environmental, quality management problems that might arise meanwhile.

Incoming businesses Presently there are almost two dozen enterprises operating in the industrial park with different profiles. They provide locals and inhabitants from nearby settlements with work and means of livelihood. The park will incorporate all activities that do not contradict the principles of town planning and legislation in force, therefore almost every business may enjoy the benefits it provides.

The industrial park was founded in 1999 by the local government of Mohács in order to enhance the economic situation. This industrial park, operating in the Mohács Enterprise Zone, has an area of 166.9 hectares and around 30% of this is still land that has not yet been built on, owned by the local government. It boasts full infrastructure. The sewage-, water-, natural gas-, public lighting- and electric networks have all been installed, along with the transport infrastructure. Resulting from these, new sites have been erected. Thanks to the infrastructural development, expansion regionally and in the European Union is now possible for the entrepreneurs. The local government makes areas available for substantial greenfield investments with coherent area needs (7-11 hectares) with access to the national road network (highway M6), the river Danube and the railway network through an industrial line. New, production businesses come to our Incubation centre from Hungary and abroad alike, because initially their risks may be minimised here. The Incubation centre adds to the regional production capacities and helps in creating a new industrial infrastructure, strengthening the competitiveness of low capital SMEs of the region, and increasing the utilisation of the industrial park. The target group of the development is those low capital SMEs which require help to start, or maintain operations in suitable environment. The Incubation centre contributes to the establishment of their market stability and makes independent development in the future possible, hence becoming solid players in the economy.
