Hungary
Connectivity
score 3.18
Executive Summary
Hungary finishes 14th out of 16 countries on the list of 'innovation-driven' economies, achieving a score of 3.18. As is the case with Poland and the Czech Republic, Hungary has been included in the innovation-driven economies as a consequence of its membership in the European Union. Although Hungary scores marginally above the Czech Republic (which achieves a score of 3.10), the performance of the two countries is not meaningfully different.
