Originally organized by Startup Hungary, Csongor Bias, Zita Sepsi. Frontier Fellowship Kickoff: Building a Global TechBio Startup from Budapest This is the first of three open events kicking off Frontier Fellowship, a new program by Startup Hungary for potential deep tech founders, university spin-outs, and researchers exploring what it takes to build a venture-scale company. We can only host 60 people, so this isn't first-come-first-served: register below, and we'll follow up to confirm your spot based on fit — please only register if you're genuinely planning to attend. The closed fellowship cohort is a separate thing: it starts in January 2027 and has its own selective application process (more info and application: https://frontier.startuphungary.io/ ). This first event is all about founder paths. Turbine is the hottest techbio startup in Hungary right now — and its founders came from completely different fields before building it together. We want to make the startup founder path more visible, and show that it's a valid, realistic career path — open to anyone willing to try. Best for: students, engineers, researchers, and anyone with a scientific / technical background or interest in deep tech, curious about startups — even if you're not sure yet whether it's for you. Panel Discussion: One Technology, Different Founder Paths • Szabolcs Nagy (CEO, Turbine) • Daniel Veres (CSO, Turbine) • Kristof Szalay (CTO, Turbine) Schedule • 18:00–18:15 Arrival • 18:15–18:30 Opening + fellowship program introduction • 18:30–20:00 Panel discussion • 20:00–21:00 Drinks, pizza, networking 🍕 This event is part of the Frontier Fellowship program, implemented with the support of the Ministry of Science and Technology of Hungary from the National Research, Development and Innovation Fund. Venue: Turbine, Budapest, Szigony u. 26-32, 1083 Hungary. Registration is handled by the original organizer. Original event and organizer: https://luma.com/fdg6b26e
