1) South Transdanubian Regional Library and Knowledge Centre
The goal of the project is to build a modern regional library and knowledge centre with a floor space of nearly 13,000 square metres that can meet today's user needs, provide information and documents for the citizens of the region at European standards. It is to host community, cultural and leisure programmes as well. Its structural conditions and modern equipment will enable the new regional library and knowledge centre to serve a lot more the citizens of Pécs than ever before.
2) Zsolnay Cultural Quarter
One of the most prominent investment projects of the European Capital of Culture programme is the establishment of the Zsolnay Cultural Quarter reviving the run-down and mostly abandoned heritage sites of the Zsolnay Porcelain Factory.
The factory that is currently in operation on the site will move to the eastern blocks, making room for a cultural and artistic area that will not only be a new patch of colour on the palette of the city but the residents of Pécs will be able to add a novel facility to their wealth that will lure people to relaxation and recreation rich in content.

3) Pécs Conference and Concert Centre (Opus 2010)
The network of musical institutions in Pécs appears to be quite complete as far as training and performers are concerned. However, there is no concert hall that could host performances in a worthy manner. For this very reason the goal of this project is to establish an internationally significant, acoustically designed multifunctional building with modern background technology that operates as a concert hall and a conference centre. Once it is built, the internationally renowned symphonic orchestra of the region, the Pannon Philharmonic and several other musical ensembles of the city will be able to continue their successful work, and thanks to the cultural space to be also established, Pécs will be able to offer a much wider range of cultural opportunities. The conference function will make Pécs a significant middle-sized venue of the conference market in Central Europe and the city will be able to host professional conferences, fairs and cultural festivals. With the related investments (motorway, regional airport) the competitiveness of Pécs will improve significantly in cultural and conference tourism.

4) Creative Incubation House
The owner of the project is to establish an incubation house on the premises of the former Pécs Gloves Factory, offering opportunities for start-ups of the creative industry in the first five years of their operation. With its total area of 1,150 sqm it can be home to 10-14 enterprises, offering services such as premises and office space to let. Its services are to be available to the enterprises of the surrounding areas as well.
The Incubation House will be located in the district of Tettye, the longest continuously inhabited part of the city. The facility, qualified as an industrial brownfield site, is located in a cultural heritage environment, therefore high standard design and achieving maximum harmony with the built environment are priorities.
