On March 20th, the second installment of the Fintech Meetup took place, hosted by one of the prominent players in the Hungarian fintech sector, Bankmonitor. The event was opened by István Sajtos, the head of the Peak Platform division, who highlighted the significance and challenges of open banking. He emphasized that the lack of standardized APIs and the fragmentation of individual platforms pose significant obstacles for both financial institutions and fintech companies. Following this, István Huszár and Balázs Sándorfi, the executives of Bankmonitor, delivered presentations, which were followed by a pitch from István Bokó, co-founder of Meskete. After the presentations, a professional panel discussion took place, and the event concluded with a networking reception.

Sharity as a New and Special Crowdfunding Platform encourages people to view advertisements of companies that contribute to solving social and environmental problems in a way that can be measured. The measurable data are made available to the companies, which can use them in complying with ESG requirements (impact measurement). This is important not only for companies but also for any organization seeking funding or investment (impact investment or finance).

Sharity is working on building a bridge between companies and local communities rallying around good causes, encouraging positive social and environmental changes. We have created a system that benefits civil organizations, companies, and individuals at the same time, mutually reinforcing good deeds. Why You Should Join the Sharity Impact Investors? Where Technology and Philanthropy meets Sharity uniquely combines the latest technologies with the world of social responsibility, offering a platform where donations are transparent and traceable. Investors can become part of a pioneering initiative that has the potential to transform the functioning of the charity sector and lead the digitalization of fundraising. Impact measurement
Investing in Sharity offers not just financial returns, but also the opportunity to initiate positive social changes. Through the platform, investors can contribute measurably to reducing social inequalities, improving the quality of life for the ones in need, and participate in building a future where technology serves people. Market Potential
Sharity’s innovative approach and technological foundation enable it to enjoy the advantage of being an early mover in a market where donations and charity support are increasingly shifting online. This presents a unique opportunity for investors to share in this growth potential while promoting the spread of user-friendly and effective methods of donation. How can you donate using Sharity? - Donating money in a transparent, traceable way without commission.
- Activities: watching educational ad videos or sharing market research information.

The introduction of the Sharity Transparency Standard ensures the complete transparency and traceability of donations – all this in a digital form and automatically in line with ESG values. With Sharity, donors can find out how their support advances the work of the selected nonprofit organizations, exactly what expenses it was used for, and what results were achieved. Sharity is a platform where every donation counts and every form of support matters. |

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! |

Startup Wednesday - Digital Scams, Online Abuses Date: April 3, 2024 (17:30 – 20:30) Location: Start it @K&H incubator (GYMSM KIK, 3rd floor)
Almost everyone has experienced or knows someone who has received a call from someone pretending to be a bank representative asking for personal information, or perhaps received an SMS about a stuck package, or an unpaid Netflix subscription. The common theme in these scenarios is the request for personal data in a manner that no legitimate bank or service would actually ask for.
With the rapid development of the digital world, unfortunately, the number of online abuses and scams is also increasing. The increasingly sophisticated and widespread forms of cybercrime can affect anyone, be it individual users, businesses, or institutions. Therefore, this event focuses on understanding and recognizing these threats, and discussing steps and tools that can help protect ourselves, our families, and our acquaintances. At Startup Wednesday, they are also preparing an interactive forum for sharing experiences, posing questions, and collectively seeking solutions to defend against digital scams and online abuses. Join us to talk and learn together about digital/online awareness! |

Startup World Cup Budapest 2024
APPLY FOR THE LARGEST STARTUP COMPETITION AROUND THE WORLD Application deadline: 2024. 04. 30. Location: Create26 in Budapest, Kiraly utca 26., 1061, Hungary
This regional semifinal for the Startup World Cup is brought to you by Pozi.io.
Pozi.io aims to foster local innovation by bringing together a distinguished startup ecosystem. The winner of the pitching competition will represent Hungary and CEE Region at the Grand Finale and will compete with other startups from 50+ regional events for a chance to win a US $1,000,000 prize in investment. Through this global event Pozi.io will be giving Hungarian startups exposure to Silicon Valley and access to some of the top VCs and tech entrepreneurs in the world, creating more funding and partnership opportunities.
Who can apply?
The competition is industry-agnostic, we are looking for startups from all sectors. Please note that only startups with at least Seed maturity may apply. We are looking for mainly Hungarian-based teams, or at least have a Hungarian co-founder and be based in the CEE region. |
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.
