Hungarian Startup University Program 2025/2026
A HSUP Programme aims to foster university students’ interest in innovation and entrepreneurship, while increasing the number of innovative start-ups founded by them. Its primary focus is on developing an innovation-oriented mindset and inspiring interest in innovation. The programme introduces the younger generation to the structure and operation of the innovation ecosystem and provides opportunities for active participation in it.
Within the university course associated with the HSUP Programme, students have the opportunity to learn solution-oriented thinking through the involvement of numerous experts active in various start-up sectors. In this way, the integration of Generations Y and Z into the innovation ecosystem is achieved by connecting different generations, helping to create an “innovation generation.” In 2026, eight scholarship recipients are participating in the programme at our University.
The project identified by the code STARTUP-2026-ÖSZTÖNDÍJ-010 was implemented with the support of the Ministry of Culture and Innovation and the contribution of the National Innovation Agency, financed from the National Research, Development and Innovation Fund.
