- 23 Jun 2015 9:00 AM
“Hungary’s post-communist transformation may not yet be quite complete, but its capital city is now acknowledged as a prime draw for start-ups, investors and incubators in the Central and Eastern European (CEE) region”, Forbes writes in praise of the Hungarian capital, citing the Budapest-founded call encryption service CryptTalk as an example., along with the now-global companies Ustream, LogMeIn and Prezi.
The Hungarian capital’s success as a hub for startups can be largely attributed to Péter B. Záboji, founder and chairman of the European Entrepreneurship Foundation (EEF), which for the last seven years has been running accelerator programmes and investor events that have resonated with a new generation of Hungarian entrepreneurs.
The article credits Colabs with being the first tech startup opf its kind in Hungary, while iCatapult aims to take European technologies to the global market.
