Corvinus Once Again at the Top: Outstanding Student Achievements in the First Semester of the Hungarian Startup Program

Based on the results of the first semester of the Hungarian Startup Program 2025–2026, the innovative ideas presented and the professional achievements attained by students of Corvinus University of Budapest once again placed the institution at the top of the national field. 

The success of the program reflects not only the high level of professional preparedness and creativity of the students, but also the strength of the university’s academic and mentoring background. The achievements represent special recognition of the dedicated professional work of the course leaders and mentors, Dr. Éva Pintér and Dr. Péter Bagó, whose guidance and support have significantly contributed to the students’ development and success. 

The Hungarian Startup Program will continue at Corvinus University of Budapest in the second semester of 2025, with the participation of nearly 100 students. Selected participants will be able to join the program with a priority scholarship and—depending on their performance—may receive an additional priority scholarship at the end of the semester, similarly to the first term. 

The university and the program’s mentors continue to welcome innovative and startup ideas. Students can count on professional support, mentoring, and an inspiring environment both within and beyond the course framework to develop their ideas and transform them into market-ready ventures. 

The goal of Corvinus University of Budapest is to remain an active contributor to strengthening Hungary’s startup culture and to provide opportunities for students to realize practice-oriented innovations that are competitive at the international level.
