In the article we present our ecosystem based approach of industrial digitalization in Hungary, and provide empirical evidence that Industry 4.0 doesn't create a uniform platform for the expectations of the actors of the Hungarian industrial digitization ecosystem in respect to the expected priorities of macro level industry policy; and regarding the implementation of the innovations there are differences between the actors in dependence of their geographical location. In the empirical part of the article we rely on the survey of the Industry 4.0 National Technology Platform and demonstrate its conclusions. We also introduce the dualistic structure of industry in Hungary by creating groups of counties on the basis of macroeconomic indicators. We highlight the regional differences using our own Industry 4.0 readiness classification system. Based on our results it was confirmed that the digital transformation of the industry can be achieved only by applying differentiated, region specific and ecosystem based tools.
