Emerson to start R&D project in Hungary

American industrial automation giant Emerson is expanding its operations in Hungary through a new research and development investment.
Implemented with the support of the HIPA Hungarian Investment Promotion Agency, the EUR 1.9 million project will be carried out in Debrecen (eastern Hungary). It focuses on the development of next-generation testing solutions aimed at reducing measurement time and improving diagnostic accuracy, ultimately enhancing manufacturing efficiency.
The investment will be implemented by NI Hungary Kft., one of the largest employers in Debrecen, and is set to create 14 new jobs. This marks the second R&D project launched by NI in Debrecen within a year. In 2025, the company initiated an automotive-focused software and hardware development program, creating 16 new positions.
NI – formerly known as National Instruments Corporation – develops and manufactures test equipment and software. Since 2023, it has been part of Emerson, one of the world’s leading industrial automation groups, where it operates as a dedicated business unit under the name Test & Measurement.
Both Emerson and NI have a strong presence in Hungary, with operations in multiple locations.
