Summary/Abstract: This article examines the particularity and complexities of industrial development and business-government relations in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, especially in Hungary between 1867 and 1914. The paper looks looking into the interactions between the Hungarian government, the Viennese court and Hungary’s most prominent companies from the pre-world war period. In the period under discussion Hungary was still mainly an agrarian country but after the compromise between Austria and Hungary industrial development increased and started to catch up with the Austrian competitors. The study highlights the main trends of the applied industrial development policies and their effects on the economy and the companies themselves.
