Introducing the Growth – Budapest Edition 2025

Introducing the Hungarian Startup community

Showcasing Hungary’s Emerging Innovation Scene to the World

What makes a city the next great innovation hub? For us, the answer is clear: talent, resilience, and a bold spirit of reinvention. That’s why we created the Growth – Budapest Edition — an English-language publication designed to introduce Hungary’s most promising minds, companies, and ideas to an international audience.

As part of our ongoing mission to bridge the local startup ecosystem with global investors, thinkers, and changemakers, this special edition of Growth Magazine is timed with the Zero-One-Hundred Conference in Budapest, where over 1,000 investors and founders will gather from across Europe.

Why this edition matters

While Hungary represents less than 0.2% of the world’s population, its contributions to science, technology, and entrepreneurship far exceed its size. The Budapest Edition celebrates this legacy — and looks ahead. From Nobel laureates and deep-tech engineers to socially conscious entrepreneurs, this issue explores the full spectrum of Hungarian brainpower in action.

Our aim is to validate and spotlight the high-value, globally relevant work happening in CEE — and to position Budapest as a natural bridge between East and West.

What’s inside?

• In-depth interviews with leading VCs, founders, and ecosystem architects
• 50+ startup spotlights covering AI, biotech, fintech, and more
• Reports from innovation clusters, research labs, and university-based programs
• A closer look at Budapest’s rise as an investment destination, with insights from the minds behind the Zero-One-Hundred movement

Our mission

At Growth, we believe that startup culture is more than economics — it’s a mindset, a social force, and a path to long-term impact. With this edition, we want to inspire cross-border collaboration, honest dialogue, and visionary thinking.

If you’re an investor, entrepreneur, policymaker, or just curious about where the next big ideas are coming from — this is your guide to understanding what’s happening now in Hungary.

Let’s grow together.
