- Team Academy Budapest – Budapest Business School implemented an innovative Finnish method into its education system in 2012. At our university, Team Academy is a specialization at the 3rd and 4th year of the BA studies. We as coaches help our young entrepreneurs to build their businesses in teams during their studies. We do not offer classes but trainings. We do not use exams but we dialogue. We build on personal commitment. Students do not study for school but for life, gaining real experience and building business networks throughout this 1.5 years period. Our programme was rewarded in 2018 as the national winner of The European Enterprise Promotion Awards in the category of “Investing in Entrepreneurial Skills”.

- I was managing the Hungarian Live Wire foundation for 4 years supporting young entrepreneurs (specially the ones with disadvantages) to start their own businesses. This organisation was one of the earliest ones forming the entrepreneurial culture in Hungary after the regime changed – a lot earlier then we could even hear about startup culture. We offered mentoring and councelling pro bono for young entrepreneurs and also financial help (support and micro-credits) and we organised several entrepreneurial competitions to help these youngsters to gain visibility and serious feedbacks on their idea & get the validity check. The foundation (that was supported by Prince Charles and Shell company) ended up its activity after 20 years in 2013 by fulfilling its aim.
