The Strategic Advisory, State Aid and Incentives business line of WTS Klient Hungary is dedicated to delivering comprehensive and tailored expert services to both Hungarian and international companies. Our expertise focuses on guiding clients through the planning, implementation, and optimisation of their investments, with a strong focus on state aid opportunities, financial incentives and strategic decisions.
Services of our Strategic Advisory, State Aid and Incentives business line
Experience clearly shows that the successful implementation of foreign direct investment (FDI) projects requires complex advisory services. Our Strategic Advisory, State Aid and Incentives business line was established in 2025 to provide support for investors with a professional, strategy-driven approach.
Advisory services related to investment incentives based on individual government decisions (EKD)
Our expert team has decades of experience in the mechanisms for investment incentives and state aid frameworks. We offer end-to-end involvement throughout the entire EKD (individual government decision) grant procedure, including:
- preliminary eligibility assessment,
- preparation of the grant application (request list),
- negotiation with government authorities,
- conclusion of the grant agreement and
- full-scale financial and administrative project-level reporting.
Site-selection advisory
One of the core services of our business line is site-selection advisory, where we assist clients in identifying the optimal investment location based on a multi-dimensional analysis. We evaluate local infrastructure, labour market characteristics, logistical advantages and the range of available state and municipal incentives.
We also compare greenfield and brownfield investment risks, assess industrial park and logistics centre operation practices, review local and environmental regulatory conditions, and facilitate negotiations with municipalities and local authorities.
Investment project development
We support clients in shaping their investment concepts, optimising budgets, and ensuring financial sustainability of their projects. A key component of this includes designing an incentive strategy and formulating tailored recommendations to maximise both the available state aid sources and the project’s economic benefits.
State aid legal due diligence
As a supplementary service, we offer legal due diligence for state aid compliance to ensure that proposed investments meet all relevant EU and national regulations, thereby minimising project risk.
Our Strategic Advisory, State Aid and Incentives business line provides integrated, high-level consulting services for investment and development projects. Through expert consulting, we help clients strengthen their competitiveness, make sound their investment decisions, and efficiently utilise available incentive opportunities.
