The Hungarian financial sector is preparing for an important event: Mastercard has announced that it is bringing one of its most significant fintech programs to Budapest. The goal of the initiative is to help young technology companies develop and enter the international market.
Industry leaders and investors will meet at the Mastercard Fintech Forum, which will be held on November 5. The event will feature a detailed presentation of the "Lighthouse" and "Start Path" programs, which have already proven their effectiveness in supporting financial innovation worldwide.
These programs provide Hungarian startups with the opportunity to connect with global experts and mentors. Participating companies will receive professional assistance in developing their business models, as well as access to Mastercard's extensive international network.
