Abstract

The chapter explores the dynamics of post-Soviet entrepreneurship in Hungary, tracing its emergence within the context of the country’s transition from a centrally planned to a market economy. Hungary is classified as a Dependent Market Economy (DME) in the Varieties of Capitalism literature, characterized by high dependence on foreign investments. The chapter examines the various reasons for post-Soviet immigration to Hungary, including the representation of former Soviet firms, student visas, marriage migration, and employment at multinational corporations, with only a small number immigrating as intentional entrepreneurs. The changing international position and relatively low entry costs for businesses have opened up numerous opportunities for entrepreneurship, particularly in low-technology manufacturing. The jus sanguinis principle extended to families in Hungary’s immigration regime has resulted in most post-Soviet-led businesses being integrated into both the Hungarian mainstream and the global economy. These businesses operate in a variety of sectors, including construction, logistics, food production, and hospitality, and can be classified into six types of immigrant entrepreneurship.
