How Hungarians can innovate individually and collectively
Silicon Valley is not just about capital and the US market. Thanks to the critical mass of entrepreneurs, investors, academic resources and innovation culture, more and more companies open innovation spaces, do business here that has world wide impact. This makes it the perfect place to tap into global opportunities. What can we expect, how should we prepare if we want to get a foothold in this part of the world? Learn from Attila Szigeti, an entrepreneur with a focus on mobile learning, mentor at the Connect East Incubator and presentation coach. Prior to his startup adventures he worked for IBM and Citigroup as Project Manager, with an emphasis on Cybersecurity and IT Infrastructure. In early 2014 he founded his first startup, got into the Startup Sauna accelerator, and won several pitch competitions. He also coached on multiple Hackathon-in-a-box and Startup Weekend events, and prepared TEDxYouth speakers.
