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.
