Hungarian companies are increasingly opening up to the practical implementation of Industry 4.0 technology. The authors conducted an exploratory quantitative questionnaire survey in which they asked the leaders of small, medium-sized and large companies about their readiness and plans for the future regarding Industry 4.0. The questionnaire surveyed 140 companies using a descriptive statistical method. In this research, the authors started from the assumption that the industry 4.0 strategy has typically been implemented in market leading companies that expect the introduction of the digital transformation to improve their market position. They also examined the relevance and support of corporate culture change and whether the Industry 4.0-related R&D services available on the domestic market are sufficient. Their study has shown that more and more companies are taking the first steps towards industrial digitalisation, which is radically changing their internal processes. In many cases, small companies are better prepared for change than large companies.
