Summary/Abstract: This paper investigates how Hungarian higher education institutions have responded to revolutionary changes in industry reflecting government measures and corporate partnerships. Based on the literature and educational institutional data, as well as a company case study, it can be concluded that in recent years significant progress has been made in the training of professionals in higher education in order to be adjusted to the challenges of Industry 4.0. This was made partly possible by the deepening of state policies and, in particular, cooperation with German companies. In the long term, all these can have an impact on the spatial processes of the Hungarian industry, in addition to economic and social consequences.
