Abstract: 
The SME sector is the engine of the Hungarian manufacturing industry, and its development is a central issue. The digitisation “compulsion” is present in society and industrial production. With this in mind, the customised application of Industry 4.0 solutions can become the driving force behind company development. Recently, industrial production has had to confront the pandemic, the war and the consequent energy crisis.
The present study summarises the detailed development plans created during the Hungarian GINOP 1.1.3 research project. It also concludes and establishes hypotheses from the data and information contained therein. We thank IVSZ (The Association of IT Companies) for consenting to our data analysis.
One hypothesis the present study proposes is that from the perspective of Industry 4.0 implementation for companies, the degree of organisation is more important than industry affiliation.
