Do you want to change the world, to stand out from your classmates, to be successful and wealthy, professionally recognised? To achieve this goal, you need only work hard on ideas that pop into your head and may seem like a dream, but may not be impossible. In this hard work of becoming an entrepreneur, you will be supported by the members of Simonyi BEDC community who also want to make their mark on the world.  

It is important to know that being one of them does not necessarily mean that you will become a founder or owner of a company, as it may happen that in the first few years of your professional career you will be employed by a large company and will be the "idea man", or internal entrepreneur within that organisation. Once you've learned what you need to do, you'll realise that you could do it outside the company, and then you'll set up your own business.  

Simonyi BEDC programmes, training and events support all students with an entrepreneurial spirit to develop their entrepreneurial spirit into an entrepreneurial capacity as effectively as possible and to learn how to develop this capacity in their everyday life.  

Check our programs and let us know at simonyibedc [at] ktk.pte.hu if you would like to get involved in the internship!
