Hungary scores 6.19, anchored by strong public-sector hosting (8.89) and excellent private-sector results (.hu raw 0.59 — top six in the EU27). The pillar holding Hungary down is developer density, at 1.57 — among the lowest in the EU27.

Strengths

  • Strong public-sector hostingDR_PUB_SCT 8.89; the official domains we sampled are predominantly EU-hosted.
  • Top-tier private-sector hosting.hu raw rating 0.59 places Hungary in the top six EU27.
  • Above-average sovereign browser share — 19.46% Firefox + Opera, top quartile.

Weaknesses

  • Very low developer density — 1.57 per-capita index, in the bottom third of the EU27.
  • Linux desktop share of 3.81% — slightly below the EU27 mean.

Outlook

Hungary's hosting infrastructure is genuinely strong. The constraint is the developer pipeline — without a larger per-capita pool, the country can't capitalise on its hosting strengths to grow a domestic SaaS or cloud sector. Public investment in technical education would be the lever.

Historical context

2020 baseline

In 2020, Hungary was an "emerging" country with a balanced, medium-level approach and clear political will, demonstrated through legally binding decrees promoting OSS.

2024 progression

The promotion of open source appears to have slowed since the mid-2010s. The national strategy that replaced the one for 2014-2020 does not mention open source. However, OSS continues to be used at the local level, for example by the Budapest City Council.
