  • HU: Legislative review to facilitate the implementation of electronic public services

    The Ministry of Public Administration and Justice announced in November 2012 that in the following months it will carry out a review of the legislative process, which is necessary for the implementation of electronic public services. This public administration development project will be launched by the end of April 2013 as part of the New Széchenyi Plan.

    The aim is to bring public administration in line with more customer-friendly solutions, not only in terms of delivering single-window government services across the country, but also public eServices.

  • HU: Budapest among 100 cities chose for EC Smart City Program

    Budapest is among 100 European cities picked by the European Commission to participate in a program for 100 climate-neutral and smart cities by 2030, Mayor Gergely Karácsony said in a post on Facebook.

    Karácsony said the cities of Miskolc (180 km northeast of Budapest) and Pécs (170 km southwest) were also picked for the program, dubbed the Cities Mission.

  • HU: Development of public health information system to be concluded in August

    The development of the information system for the National Public Health and Medical Officer Service (Állami Népegészségügyi és Tisztiorvosi Szolgálat - ÁNTSZ, in Hungarian) is expected to be completed by the end of August 2011.

    An accurate and up-to-date database will be created to accelerate the process of organising public healthcare. It will indicate, for instance, the number of available hospital beds and the nearest hospital in the case of a major accident.

  • HU: ICT sector set to double exports of software, services

    Hungary’s information and communications technology (ICT) sector could double exports of software and services in 5 years, the general secretary of the ICT association IVSZ said on Friday.

    The sector exported software and services worth 300 billion forints (EUR 955m) in 2014, Gabor Major told MTI.

    On the other hand, he listed factors hindering growth in the ICT sector such as the ten thousand unfilled vacancies.

  • Hungarian ''e-government'' long on vision, short on services, says EIU

    In terms of developing an "e-government," Hungary is in the middle of the pack among new and prospective EU members from the central and eastern European region, as well-intentioned information society programs and a high level of IT education and skills have yet to translate into viable online public services for citizens and especially businesses, according to a survey by the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU).

    Hungary was ranked fifth in the EIU's survey of 11 countries, just behind Poland and ahead of Turkey. At the top, Estonia, the Czech Republic and Slovenia have clearly pulled away from the rest of the field, and their e-government services and infrastructure "now compare favorably with the rest of the EU," according to the EIU.

  • Hungarian government sponsors development of ODF tools

    Following a related ministerial decision in December 2011, the Hungarian public administration, as of April 2012, was to use open document standards for all electronic documents; all public organisations were also encouraged to move to open source office tools.

    Consequently, the Hungarian Government is investing 370 million HUF (approx. € 1,23 million) in a three-year project to improve applications which use the open document format (ODF). The funds are shared between the Software Engineering Department of the University of Szeged and Multiracio, an open source IT specialist developing EuroOffice, office applications based on LibreOffice and OpenOffice.

  • Hungary developing eID architecture

    Hungarian officials have confirmed that the country will launch a biometric eID card system which can also be used for electronic signatures on e-government services.

    Local media reports that a social consultation will precede the drafting of the relevant law before the cards are introduced next January.

  • Hungary opens new “government windows”

    New one-stop government windows - public administration customer offices - opened around the country on Monday, a public-administration official said.

    The one-stop shop for the general public is the first step to a client-friendly single-window administration system which is expected to be fully in place by the end of 2013, Erika Szabó, state secretary at the public-administration ministry, said at the ceremonial opening of a new government window in Szekszárd, southern Hungary.

    The 29 new customer service offices that opened on Monday employ 300 people and will be open from 8am to 8pm on working days. There are four new offices in Budapest and 25 around the country.

  • Hungary to go digital, strategically

    Who would argue, in 2010, that in order to increase Hungary's competitiveness, we need information and communication technologies and we need to use them on every vertical and horizontal spectrum for the sake of society, businesses and administration? No one. Right. But who would argue that we need resources and timeframes to advance in the digital evolution? No one, again. In spite of this, the draft of the new Digital Hungary Strategy, at the end of its public discussion, has some good news as well as some bad news.

    Hold back the obligate yawn when reading the word “strategy” next to digital and ICT – even if it's the umpteenth time such a matter comes into focus without any consequence in the near future. The current document from the current government, entitled Digital Hungary Strategy, is in many ways a better piece of work than its predecessors. Not because of the shocking novelties or elaborated details, but it's elaborated enough to give a broader perspective on the basics of Hungary as not yet a digital economy but how it wants to be one.

  • Hungary: E-Admin

    The government accepted a proposal concerning E-Government, which aims to make electronic administration available in 27 different areas.

    The draft on a four-tier electronic administration system extends from the provision of information to full-scale online customer service.

  • Hungary: eGovernment Knowledge Portal available in pilot version

    The development of the Hungarian eGovernment Knowledge Portal supported by the European Union has been completed. It is currently available in a pilot version at www.etudasportal.gov.hu.

    Beside the traditional homepage functions, the online platform offers interactive and web 2.0 services, including eLearning, online advice for the development of eGovernment services, navigation and user-friendly search possibilities on the multi-dimensional expert knowledge map.

  • Hungary: Ministers step up e-government efforts

    Telecoms and IT Minister, Kálmán Kovács, together with Minister of Domestic Affairs, Mónika Lamperth, have signed an agreement to launch initiatives to help develop local e-government services in Hungary.
  • Hungary: Net@work

    Hungarians may have embraced the free market at breakneck speed when the Communist regime moaned its last dictatorial sigh in 1989, but they have been much slower to get into bed with other fast-moving trends in today’s high-tech world.
  • Hungary: net@work

    Hungary has been accused of dragging its heals when it comes to developing e-government services such as online VAT registration, customs services or public procurement facilities.

    This criticism comes despite Hungary's efforts to build solid foundations for the provision of such services.

  • Hungary's digital progress in line with EU average

    Hungary's digital economy and society have developed in line with the EU average over the past few years, the European Commission said in its latest Digital Economy and Society Index (DESI) report on Tuesday. Hungary ranks 23rd out of 28 EU member states overall.

    Hungary performs best, slightly above the EU average, in the broadband connectivity dimension, thanks to its widespread adoption of fast and ultrafast broadband and to its high coverage of next generation access (NGA) and ultrafast broadband infrastructure. Hungary ranks 14th in broadband internet access and 12th in 5G readiness, according to the report. Although fixed broadband coverage stagnated at around 94% of homes, fast broadband coverage increased to 87%. Well above half of homes subscribe to at least 30 Mbps (58%), above the EU average of 41%. In addition, Hungary continues to score well on ultrafast connectivity, mainly owing to its widespread cable networks: coverage stands at 82% (compared to 60% in the EU as a whole).

  • Ungarn errichtet umfassendes digitales Behördenfunknetz

    Ungarn schickt sich an, die bislang weltweit größte Anzahl verschiedener Behörden für öffentliche Sicherheit mit einem gemeinsamen, landesweiten Digitalfunknetz im TETRA-Standard zu versorgen. Dazu gehören nach Angaben des Infrastrukturherstellers EADS auch die ungarischen Streitkräfte, ferner die Staatspolizei und die Polizei von Budapest, der Grenzschutz, die staatliche Katastrophenschutzbehörde, Steuer- und Zollbehörden, Exekutivorgane, staatliche Rettungsdienste sowie die Umwelt- und Wasserschutzbehörde. EADS liefert die Netzinfrastruktur und zunächst 14.000 Endgeräte an die Firma Pro-M, die das landesweite Funknetz im Auftrag der ungarischen Regierung aufbauen und betreiben wird. Pro-M ist ein Tochterunternehmen von T-Mobile Hungary und Magyar Telekom, an der die Deutsche Telekom eine Mehrheitsbeteiligung hält.
  • Ungarn testet RFID-Überwachung an Flughäfen

    Am ungarischen Flughafen in Debrecen hat die Regierung mit dem Test eines neuen Überwachungssystems begonnen. Fluggäste sollen mit Kameras und RFID-Chips, die sich entweder in Armbändern oder im Boarding-Pass befinden, überwacht werden. Die RFID-Chips können von Datenlesegeräten aus 10 bis 20 Metern Entfernung gelesen werden. In Verbindung mit Panorama-Überwachungskameras ließe sich somit die Position der Passagiere auf einen Meter genau bestimmen.
  • Ungarn: Elektronische Tags für Flugpassagiere

    Ungarn testet eine neue Sicherheitstechnologie für Flughäfen. Dabei werden Reisende mit elektronischen Tags "markiert". Mit Hilfe von Datenlesegeräten, die mit Panorama-Videokameras vernetzt sind, können sie geortet und überwacht werden.

    Entwickelt wurde die Technologie, die RFID-Chips [Radio Frequency Identification] mit Überwachungskameras kombiniert, im Rahmen des von der EU geförderten Projekts Optag, am neu gegründeten Centre for Security and Crime Science am University College London.

  • VN: Hungary willing to share e-government building experience with VN
