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.

Pre-registration for TEA Solar has started with great interest! TEA Solar is a member of Sarkcsillag Holding, which is owned by a Hungarian, family owned business. They are specialized in implementing and managing solar power plant projects since 2015.
They are now operating 9 solar power plants with a total capacity of 6,5 MWp. In 2023, they've generated 7,600 MWh of electricity, their income surpassed € 1.1 million. This is enough to power an electric car to go around the Globe more than 1000 times!
Currently, two solar power plants are in a state ready for construction, a 2.5 MWp project in Hungary and a 1 MWp capacity plant in Italy. Leveraging their experience in the energy sector, since 2020, they have also been operating electric vehicle charging stations. Thus, in addition to energy production, they now sell electricity to electric vehicle owners through charging stations – this is TEA. |
They are proud to be one of the biggest, 100% Hungarian-owned charging infrastructures in Hungary. In this network, there are more than 100 charging points in operation. Their company is also dealing with the sales and installation of charging stations. Their strategic goal is to rapidly and efficiently advance both business units, expanding in both Hungary and Italy.

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! |

Join us in organising the startup ecosystem! 🎉
The ideas and aspirations for improvement expressed at previous events have created the need for a more focused exchange of views and ambitions to stimulate the domestic ecosystem. As a consequence, we have created Ecosystem Talks, where the main goal is to dissect, analyse, systematise and then solve the issues and problems. Once a month, you can raise any topic you want to build community.
The next occasion will take place on April 8th at 8:30 am, and we look forward to seeing you there! This time the guest will be MVM's incubator, the Smart Future Lab, which is now selecting the startups that have applied to the Edison call. The meeting will be attended by Dorka Végvári - Gerencsér, senior innovation design expert at MVM Smart Future Lab and professional leader of the MVM Edison incubation programme.
Continuous innovation is an important element of the MVM Group's strategy, in which MVM Edison plays a key role. Since 2016, the MVM Edison startup competition has been transformed in cooperation with MVM Smart Future Lab Zrt. Their aim remains to identify and support ground-breaking ideas and to incorporate and leverage them in the MVM Group. During the talk, they will provide insights into their experiences over the past years, the renewed incubation programme and how the MVM Group is connected to the domestic ecosystem.
You can register for the next event here: Tokeportal.com/ET. Also, indicate your attendance on the Ecosystem Talks Facebook event! Let's kick off the week together with a coffee by the virtual table! |

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.
