Host | BALAZS SZABO | President | Kairos Hungary
Topic | Kairos Global Summit Kick-off Event for the Hungarian Delegation

Location | AC Budapest | Corvinus University | Salt House Building | Fővám tér 13-15.

The goal of the event to connect the young innovators and mentors representing Hungary at the 4th Kairos Global Summit in New York City. Young entrepreneurs and innovators were selected from different universities with different educational background. The goal of the event is to connect the Fellows and Mentors, to shed light on the details of the Summit, to update the members of the delegation on the latest schedule and programs and give an insight to the technical details of the travel that make them possible to get the most out of this extraordinary opportunity. Beside that the Kick Off Event is an excellent way of building the team spirit among the talented youngsters and mentors representing Hungary in an authentic environment provided by the American Corner.

Kairos Society

Founded in 2008, Kairos Society is an international, student-run, not-for-profit foundation based in the United States. Kairos fosters a culture of innovation-driven entrepreneurship by engaging our diverse fellows with a variety of industry and thought leaders surrounding a wide range of global challenges. Our seven hundred global fellows hail from fourteen countries across four continents and represent the most innovative students from top universities around the world. Kairos fellows strive to develop meaningful ventures that create value for the global economy, while improving the lives of billions of people around the world. In doing so, Kairos works to bridge the gaps -- between disciplines, cultures and generations -- that stifle transformative innovation. We achieve these goals by fostering an international community of top student entrepreneurs and change makers. Together, these future leaders will create the next billion dollar companies that tackle our world’s greatest challenges such as education, healthcare, and energy.

The Summit

The Kairos Society is pleased to announce its fourth annual Global Summit to be held February 2-5, 2012 in New York City. Over the course of the weekend, these current and future world leaders will work together across generations, disciplines, and nations to create high-growth companies that solve the world’s most pressing challenges. The summit will take place at the New York Academy of Medicine, the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), and the New York Institute of Technology de Seversky Mansion. On the trading floor of the NYSE, we will also be unveiling the winners of the 2012 Kairos Fifty, representing the 50 most innovative ventures coming out universities around the world.
