A new generation of economists for Hungary

We believe Hungary needs professionals who think on internationally competitive, strong quantitative, mathematical and methodological foundations, make data-driven decisions, interpret economic processes at a systems level, and can navigate the uncertainties of a rapidly changing economic environment.

Our goal is for Hungarian scientific achievements — including Nobel-Prize and Nobel-level discoveries — not only to be born in Hungary but to be put to use here to the greatest possible extent. We want to help domestic intellectual achievements become internationally successful, marketable products, services and innovations, while as much of the created value as possible remains in Hungary.

We know that as a small, open economy, Hungary often starts at a disadvantage in commercialising scientific results. Larger, better-capitalised and globally embedded markets enjoy significant advantages in financing, market entry and international growth. We aim to mitigate this gap by building a talent-development and educational ecosystem that bridges scientific discoveries and their economic application.

The foundation's long-term ambition is to build a professional community and talent pipeline that meaningfully contributes to strengthening Hungary's economic competitiveness, raising its innovation performance, and making the value generated from Hungarian knowledge more visible, stronger and more sustainable both at home and internationally.
