Our successful Fintech meetup event series will continue today (March 20th), between 5 PM and 8 PM at the Hungarian Innovation Center (1117 Infopark Walkway 1, Budapest), hosted by Bankmonitor.
The mission of the Fintech Meetup Series is to provide an opportunity for both our members and non-member startups to showcase their work, communicate about their companies, build their communities, and foster potential collaborations in the process.
Bankmonitor is one of Hungary's largest fintech companies. With the exception of standardized solutions, they handle all IT system development in-house. Established in 2013, their business activities today include the comparison of financial products, digital product brokering and contract signing, solutions designed for advisors, and data monetization. The success of Bankmonitor's strategy is best showcased by their ability to become the largest player in the Hungarian market as the youngest financial intermediary. They view digitalization not as an end goal but as a tool that simplifies finances and aids understanding for all stakeholders.

We are pleased to announce that the Transplant Foundation's campaign has successfully passed the €5000 funding milestone! Thank you to everyone who has contributed to this commitment and supported the initiative so far!
Our mission is to ensure that transplant recipients receive proper rehabilitation so they can live a full life. The goal of rehabilitation is for them to be like us. Organ transplant recipients live among us, both adults and children. Organ transplantation is a miracle of medicine, but it is not enough in itself. The soul must also be healed. That is why the Foundation works.
Together with the Foundation, we are very grateful for the support we have received so far. There have been people we knew would help, and there have been people who have been touched by the plight of these children, and although they have never been affected, they felt they needed to help. We have so far raised €5000 out of the €17700 we set ourselves. Some say it is not enough, others say it is a good result. We believe that in the time left, many more people will think that helping children who have received organ transplants is a good thing.
Until the end of the campaign, we maintain that you can help with as little as €3. Let's start this year with the joy of donating and teach our children this beautiful and precious habit! |

PropTech Hungary Conference Date: 16 MAY 2024 (09:00 - 20:00) Location: BUDAPEST MUSIC CENTER
For the fifth time, the PropTech Hungary Conference will take place with a renewed vision, a new background and a lot of new ideas.
A lot has changed recently: digitalisation has started in many companies and ESG has pushed operators to collect more and more data about their real estate and their company - time, efficiency and measurability have become more valuable than ever.
This is the 5th year of the conference to help the real estate market, one of the most digitalised markets in Hungary and at regional level, catch up digitally. The event will focus on digital development, knowledge sharing and transformation.
The conference aims to bridge the gap between technology, construction and real estate. Innovation and digitalisation is not in the future, it is in our everyday lives, but in many cases we overlook it, we misunderstand it or we simply don't take the time to do it.
The conference will provide a practical forum for this, bringing it down to earth: - to connect real estate players, those who are just interested in digitalisation, and
-
those who are already involved: adopters, solution providers, developers, start-ups.
