Abstract

There is no development without innovation, and there is no innovation without human resources. Today, Research & Development activities, also Innovation became fundamental premise of economic development and sustainable competetiveness, the importance of RDI is greater than ever for adapting to new challenges. “Innovation performance has become a key element of economic growth in developed countries in the last two decades. This general trend, however, was not or hardly refl ected in the economic policy.”
The field of human resources management became the central question of increasing organizational efficiency which is the basis of a country’s competitiveness. Therefore we need to highlight the importance of the knowledge-driven economy and resource innovation.
The study presents the Research&Development&Innovation (RDI) position and midterm aims of Hungary, besides demonstrates fundamental, innovation contribution-related regulations and information offering a starting point for the innovation  contribution’s application and settlement. Knowing this information is especially important since Hungarian firms do not seem to take advantage of the opportunities according to the experts’ opinion. The main reason of this may be that even those who are affected hardly know what is considered as an R&D activity. This study helps the companies to gather deeper knowledge in order to take advantage of the opportunities.
