Frontier Fellowship Kickoff: Building a Global TechBio Startup from Budapest

Frontier Fellowship Kickoff: Building a Global TechBio Startup from Budapest
This is the first of three open events kicking off Frontier Fellowship, a new program by Startup Hungary for potential deep tech founders, university spin-outs, and researchers exploring what it takes to build a venture-scale company.
We can only host 60 people, so this isn't first-come-first-served: register below, and we'll follow up to confirm your spot based on fit — please only register if you're genuinely planning to attend. The closed fellowship cohort is a separate thing: it starts in January 2027 and has its own selective application process (more info and application: https://frontier.startuphungary.io/ ).
This first event is all about founder paths. Turbine is the hottest techbio startup in Hungary right now — and its founders came from completely different fields before building it together. We want to make the startup founder path more visible, and show that it's a valid, realistic career path — open to anyone willing to try.
Best for: students, engineers, researchers, and anyone with a scientific / technical background or interest in deep tech, curious about startups — even if you're not sure yet whether it's for you.
