10.00-10.50 “Girls in ICT - Why are girls still not attracted to ICT studies and
careers?”: panel discussion moderated by Kata Pál, Director, Business
Sector Development, Technology & Knowledge Transfer, Hungarian
National Tradehouse
Jobs in information and communication technologies (ICT) sectors like
telecoms and the Internet are key sources of growth and crucial for the
growth of the economy. However, Europe faces an ICTs skills gap of 1
million workers on a short-term scale. The EU's competitiveness therefore
depends on attracting and keeping skilled workers, especially in the high-
tech sector, including women. A career in ICT allows girls to use their
creativity, work in international environments and participate in shaping our
future.
The aims of the panel discussion is to encourage girls and women to open
towards the IT/ICT sector by presenting role models and introducing
successful female leaders of the IT/ICT sector, discussing the current
challenges in the IT/ICT profession, identifying the causes and tackling
stereotypes, and also by promoting the IT/ICT profession and talking about
carrier opportunities.
Panellists:
Zsófia Bánhegyi, Group Communications Director, Magyar Telecom
Judit Grósz, Marketing and Operative Director, Microsoft Hungary
Krisztina Horváth, Managing Director, CISCO

10.00-11.00 “Creating global value networks 4 young people by young people”: by
Patrik Kovács, President of the Young Entrepreneurs Organization of
the European Union (JEUNE), Founder & President of Young
Entrepreneurs Association Hungary (FIVOSZ)
Being a young entrepreneur is a difficult task and puts the individual in a
difficult position, where they have to figure out a way to become successful
on their own. Being young has its advantages and disadvantages, as much as
anything else in our lives. It allows you to start your business at a young age
of your life and gives you the opportunity to reach your goals sooner and set
your imagination higher for the future. It also on the other hand presents you
with challenges that you have never faced before and makes you experience
them for yourself. Global networks for young entrepreneurs are founded to
face these challenges as a unit and not as individuals anymore. Young
entrepreneur alliances are there for young people to unite, share and
cooperate with one another - this way challenging situations become easier
to handle. These global networks of young people are the key to the success
of young entrepreneurship in Europe and in the whole world as well.

FIVOSZ is the biggest young entrepreneurs organization in
Hungary and one of the biggest in Central and Eastern
Europe. FIVOSZ is helping its members in many ways to
be more successful as young entrepreneurs in Hungary.
Mentoring, teaching and briefing members are the main
tasks of the organization. Its ever growing membership numbers prove that
FIVOSZ is an organization for the future of young entrepreneurs of
Hungary.

Build your own robot from discarded trash by REBOT
The REBOT building kit seeks to introduce newbies to programming and
robotics through a playful and environmentally friendly approach. With the
help of this kit, it is possible to build robots out of discarded empty boxes
and bottles, and control them wirelessly by means of a program running on a
computer or mobile phone, and the robots may even be capable of
autonomous operation. The robots created are able to move with the help of
four servo motors, can communicate with two LED lights, recognize
obstacles in front of them with two infrared sensors, and can even be
controlled in the hallways of a school, solely by moving our mobile phone.
With the help of the program running on the computer we can link several
robots, and we can control robots built by others as well over the internet.
(Tournament of workshop participants' freshly built robots at 12.00.)

The High Speed Networks (HSN) Lab started its activity in 1992 at the BME
and it is hosted by the Department of Telecommunications and Media
Informatics. As a result of the dynamic development of networking and
computer science 10 departments of the Electrical Engineering Faculty and
a department of the Mathematical Institute are involved in the work of HSN
Lab today.
Several research groups, involving twenty four lead researchers, eighteen
PhD students and over one hundred undergraduate students work in the
HSN Lab. Beyond its sound scientific results HSN Lab plays an important
role in the transfer of novel technologies and skilled people to the industry.
HSN Lab has successfully participated in several European and national
research programs and maintains fruitful relations with research institutes
and universities.
The HSN Lab's main research fields can be categorized in eight main areas:
Broadband & Transport (including optical networks, multi-domain, multi-
layer networks, design, optimization and routing, reliability), Networking
(including software defined networking, internet of things, cloud
networking), Future Internet Architectures (including networks and services,
economics and interop.), Mobile & Wireless (including spectrum and
capacity, mobility, security), End Systems (including wireless sensor

11:15-11:45 “Why entrepreneurs are willing to work 80 hours a week? The myth of
entrepreneurship”: workshop by Mr. Ádám Drobinoha
Entrepreneurs are willing to work 80 hours a week to avoid working 40
hours a week. But why do they do that? Is it for the money, the fame or the
freedom? Or is it just to be the big boss? We bet that these are not the real
reasons. Adam who started his first company during the university will tell
you about his journey. Now he's 26 and running a venture builder company
with his team, where they're working on three startup ideas (Hazfal,
CashbackCloud, BattleJungle). As an online entrepreneur, he's passionate
about technology, and loves to create products that change something in the
world.

11:15-11:45 “Facebook for young professionals”: workshop by Gabriella Cseh, Head
of Public Policy for Central and Eastern Europe for Facebook
Is social media a magic mirror or candid camera? Platforms such as
Facebook have long been for connecting with friends and family. They are
also now becoming the primary source of information, networking, and
building a professional presence. Head-hunters and employees are referring
to social media presence to learn more about the candidates. Young
professionals realize that their presence on social networks is as important
as having the right CV or references when it comes to building your
professional personal brand. So how can social networks be best used when
building your carrier?
Facebook is the largest social network with 1.44 billion users across the
globe.
Gabriella is the Head of Public Policy for Central and Eastern Europe for
Facebook, a lawyer. Currently, she covers public policies and regulatory
relations of Facebook in the CEE region, focusing on issues related to data
protection, privacy, digital market, job creation and the economic impact of
Facebook in Europe, internet safety, the open Internet, and more broadly the
social value generated by Internet-related services. Prior to joining
Facebook, she was the executive director of Hungarian Public Service Radio
for four years and the external relations director for PanTel
telecommunications Ltd for seven years. Gabriella has also served as a
diplomat and a civil servant.

1. Software Development for Everyone. The GreenFox Story by Barbara
Fazekas (GreenFox Academy)
Barbara Fazekas is director of Green Fox Academy, a school that would like
to inspire more and more people to jump into coding industry. She and her
partners developed a 4-month-long software development education
program for students with non-engineering background. On top of the school
they built a recruitment agency for IT companies who are hunting for young
talents.
GreenFox Academy provides an education program for young coders in
order to help them progress in their careers. It then builds a recruitment
channel for IT companies who are in need of young, talented developers.
This is beneficial for employers as they can 'pre-test' the employer-employee
relationship and see which candidate is the best for the overall chemistry of
the company. There is also a decreased recruitment risk and it is a way of
strengthening market presence and the employer's brand.
