Happy Holidays! - Pitch Event

Virtual Conference Sessions of The Vice-Consulate of Hungary in Houston

Overview:

Before we go to our well-deserved holidays and celebrate the end of this utterly unusual year of 2020, The Vice-Consulate of Hungary invites you to an online pitch event. We will be showcasing ingenuity from Hungary, this time from an all-technology perspective.

Hungary has never lacked for talent; it's one of the best-kept secrets, that we have a long tradition in innovation, capability and creativity. According to Wikipedia, Hungary ranks 13th in the list of Nobel laureates per capita of countries, a position which shares with Germany and exceeds countries like US, France, Netherlands or Canada.

For our next session, we invite the Texan Innovation Ecosystem to join us and celebrate the end of the year with new and bright ideas from Hungarian innovators.
