Acquisitions in Hungary in recent years, including Vodafone Magyarország Zrt., DIGI Távközlési és Szolgáltató Kft., Invitech ICT Sevices Kft. and HungaroDigitel, made the group the second largest telecommunications company in Hungary, with a total of around 3 million mobile and almost 2 million fixed-line customers.

Vision

The 4iG Group’s key strategic objective is to meet the needs of consumers, businesses and governments by leveraging digital skills and cutting-edge technologies. Next generation ICT services are already part of our daily life, and their role is growing rapidly. 4iG’s solutions, which make everyday life easier, will become more widespread in Hungary and worldwide, as they help to adapt to rapidly changing circumstances and play an important role in the digital development of the economy.

The company’s acquisition strategy will continue to support the Group’s successful operations, continued expansion of resources and entry into new markets in the period ahead. Thanks to its market-defining acquisitions in recent years, the 4iG Group has become a convergent IT and telecoms service provider, able to compete with the largest telecoms operators in both technology and market terms. The Group will be supported in this by the successful implementation of the transformation programme announced in autumn 2023, which is expected to result in a further increase in enterprise value of more than HUF 400 billion. In addition to telecommunications and IT, the Group has significant market potential in the global aerospace and technology segments, which could further boost the growth and technological development of the 4iG Group.
