Vice President, HUNDCA · Managing Director, H1 Systems
Company / Organization:
HUNDCA, H1 Systems
Professional background
Mihály Németh is Managing Director and co-owner of H1 Systems, a Hungarian engineering company that has been designing, building and operating data centres and critical facilities since 1993. He came to the industry from the telecom side: 15 years at Magyar Telekom, then CFO and later Chief Sales Officer at T-Systems Hungary, with board seats at telecom operators across the region.
His focus is the commercial and strategic side of digital infrastructure — where demand is moving, what makes a market investable, and how engineering and operating capacity is built to meet it. He is a founding board member of HUNDCA, the Hungarian Data Center Association, where he works on market development and the competitiveness of the Hungarian and regional data centre sector.
Speaking session details
Why the CEE region, why Hungary?
Capacity is moving out of the saturated FLAP-D markets, and Central and Eastern Europe is one of the places it is going — but the region cannot yet answer the questions an investor asks first. Mihály Németh opens with what the numbers say about that shift and what CEE still has to put in place; Máté Kovács continues from the site survey side, on power, land, permitting and the region’s fibre position, with Hungary as the worked example. This session is an invitation rather than a conclusion: HUNDCA is starting this work and is looking for partners across the region to do it together.
