Hungary’s foreign minister Péter Szijjártó said at the inauguration ceremony that Hungary anticipates spending HUF 50 bln to establish 2,000 vocational training workshops and a further HUF 700 bln on research and development during the current European Union budget cycle, reported the Budapest Business Journal earlier this week.
Volker Schilling and Roger Seemeyer, directors of Robert Bosch Elektronika Kft. pointed out: the flexible training system offered at the centre will play an important role in the future development of the company.
Bosch said in a statement that the company has been present in Hungary since 1899. Since then, the company has grown into one of Hungary's largest employer.
