Currently under development is a state-of-the-art Science and Innovation Park, on a 3.6-hectare site, facing the University on the opposite bank of the River Danube. The first phase was opened in 2023, with the Park set to be one of Hungary's most influential science, technology and business environments, providing tenant companies and start-ups with an environment of innovation and creativity. The mission of the development is to enhance collaboration between large, medium and small sized enterprises, university researchers and talented students of the University.
The Park will function as an organizational and infrastructural link in assisting its tenants and corporate partners to come into contact with the University’s 28 testing labs and 21 research labs to realize various testing and research tasks.
