ZalaZone is 'One of Most Exciting Research & Innovation Zones in Hungary'
ZalaZone is not just an automotive test track, but one of the most exciting pieces of research and innovation infrastructure in Hungary, Zoltan Tanacs, the minister for science and technology, said on Facebook on Thursday, after visiting the test track in Zalaegerszeg (W Hungary).

"As one of the most modern automotive test centres in Europe and the world, ZalaZONE enables the development and testing of technologies that will determine the future of transport, from self-driving vehicles through electromobility to smart transport systems," the minister said.

With its infrastructure modelling a real transport environment, 5G-based communication network and unique testing capabilities, it is an attractive development location for international companies, research institutes and universities, he said.

"In the coming years, we will strive to ensure that innovations created here can enter the economic and social circulation as soon as possible. Instead of assembly plants, we need high-added-value services, R+D and manufacturing," Zoltan Tanacs said in the post.
