The University of Szeged and WINGAIN EURÓPA Ltd. signed a cooperation agreement on April 7, 2026. The partnership focuses on energy storage, a field that plays a pivotal role in sustainable energy consumption. The goal of the collaboration is to combine the university's knowledge base with the industrial experience represented by WINGAIN—as a partner of the Archenerg-Metal Cluster—to create joint innovation projects and practice-oriented training opportunities.

Toyota Sakura has been an active member of the Archenerg-Metál Cluster community for years and is committed to implementing the Toyota Beyond Zero strategy in Hungary. The goal is not only zero-emission vehicles, but also a significant reduction in the carbon footprint of the entire operational infrastructure.
Another milestone in this endeavor was achieved in collaboration with Óbuda University, where an innovative hydrogen-based microgrid system was established.

Following its 2023 commemoration in Ivano-Frankivsk, the ArchEnerg-Metal Cluster pays tribute virtually this year to the heroes of the War of Independence and the victims of the war. Solidarity, shared cultural heritage, and the desire for peace on March 15th.

The Archenerg-Metal Cluster and Wingain Europe Ltd. organized three professional factory visits to the Wingain Europe Ltd. facility. The program focused on showcasing domestic manufacturing capacity, cutting-edge energy storage solutions, and future strategic collaborations.

From Mars Square to World Fame – The University of Szeged (SZTE) Faculty of Engineering, partner of the Archenerg-Metal Cluster, pays tribute to the father of modern mass production.

Data and diplomatic events in 2026 have made it clear: the global warming limit of 1.5°C has become definitively untenable. According to the Berkeley Earth report, 2025 was the third warmest year on record, and the temperature spikes of the last three years (2023–2025) indicate a drastic acceleration of the process.

After solar panels, batteries are now taking center stage. In early February, the government will launch a HUF 100 billion residential energy storage program, with application details available starting this Thursday. Households can receive a HUF 2.5 million grant by completing a simple 2.5-page form. The goal is to store solar energy that is currently produced but wasted, thereby reducing household vulnerability and the load on the electricity grid. Gábor Czepek, Deputy Minister of Energy and Government Commissioner for Electricity Storage, told Index that the country that solves energy storage now will be the winner of the 2030s.

A new era for European industry and competitiveness has dawned in Madrid, where the European Clusters Alliance (ECA) hosted its first major flagship conference. The Hungarian cluster community was prominently represented: through the National Federation of Innovative Clusters (IKOSZ), Ágnes Gonda participated in the summit, ensuring that the Archenerg-Metal Cluster and domestic stakeholders received first-hand intelligence on the most critical industrial and funding shifts ahead. Bringing together more than 150 European policymakers and experts, the event confirmed that clusters are no longer merely support networks, but strategic pillars of European competitiveness.

On behalf of the management of Archenerg Cluster, we would like to wish all our partners a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

The aim of the partnership is to transfer Hungarian innovative knowledge and technology, with a particular focus on solar and geothermal systems, passive house construction, and biomass recycling. The strategy was put into action when a 23-member high-ranking Uzbek delegation visited Hungary, organized by the ArchEnerg–Metál Cluster. During the eleven-day thematic program, a wide spectrum of the Hungarian innovation ecosystem was presented at several national locations, showcasing innovations in research, university education, industrial and agricultural enterprises. This strengthened Uzbek-Hungarian university cooperation (e.g., the establishment of Óbuda University and Inno-Technopark) and explored opportunities for specific joint pilot projects and regional demonstration projects for Hungarian-Uzbek cooperation.
