We’re still riding the high from our last INNspiration Gulyás event in Budapest — a day packed with paprika-spiced energy, thought-provoking panels, rapid-fire pitches, and yes… gulyás served under the blazing Hungarian sun.
At Green Brother, we believe that great ideas grow where people gather — especially when there’s good food and honest conversation involved.
Panel Highlight: From Traffic Data to Urban Transformation
After a brilliant icebreaker by Alex MacIntosh and a round of Impact Bingo, we dove straight into our first panel:
“Leveraging Traffic Data to Transform Urban Travel Experiences.”
Moderated by Lilla Judit Bartuszek (Founder, National Association of Livable Settlements), the discussion brought together leading minds working to reshape how cities move. From public infrastructure to private innovation, the message was clear: smart data use is critical to creating responsive, efficient, and human-centered mobility systems.
A huge thanks to our speakers:
- Eliška Bajgarová (EIT Urban Mobility)
- Ákos Dervalics (CEO of Green Brother
- Adrian Muscat (Chief of R&D, Greenroads)
- David Varga (CEO & Co-Founder, RealCity)
- László Iváncsó (Secretary-General, Association for Future Mobility)
- József Pethő (Mobility Business Advisor, Magyar Telekom)
- Max von Münster (BKK’s leading data science expert)
Their diverse perspectives made this panel a standout moment of the day.
Pitch Parallels: 3 Minutes of Innovation
Our Pitch Parallels session was fast, focused, and full of energy. First, in-house investors Tilia Impact Ventures and STRT Holding Nyrt. shared how they invest and what excites them. Then, a curated selection of startups took the mic for 3-minute pitches.
Startups included:
- ARport Hungary
- beeco
- BLOCK
- Touristas
- Sharity Impact
- Greenroads
- Carbon.Crane
- SparkPark AS
Each brought something bold and fresh from the world of mobility, cleantech, and data.
What’s Up With Fundraising in CEE?
Later, we unpacked what fundraising really looks like across Central and Eastern Europe in a candid, insightful panel moderated by Toufik Dallal. Our fantastic speakers shared their experiences from both sides of the table:
Andrew Gray (Tilia Impact Ventures)
Roland Kovács (STRT Holding Nyrt.)
József Bodnár (Carbon.Crane)
Igor Pancevski (SparkPark AS)
Matchmaking, Gulyás and Aprons
After all the panels and pitches, we sat down for a more relaxed matchmaking lunch. Gulyás was served, the sun was shining, and some of the best conversations happened over stew, salad, and coffee.
To close the day, our Impact Bingo winners walked away with custom chef aprons that read:
“Mixing innovation like Gulyás.” And there was even a bit of golf involved.
A huge thanks to everyone who joined us to the 4th annual INNspiration Gulyás — whether to pitch, share ideas, ask questions or just enjoy the stew. We believe that innovation, like gulyás, gets better when stirred together.
Let’s keep mixing.
Let’s keep building.
See you at the next INNspiration event at 11 June 2026.
