Eight students from Mathias Corvinus Collegium presented their latest research at the Eurasia Business and Economics Society international conference last week, hosted by MCC. Bringing together nearly one hundred speakers over two days, the event offered a dynamic platform for exploring the economic and technological challenges defining today’s world.
From the growth barriers of European startups to the role of corporate venture capital in healthcare, and from the shift from generative AI to agentic AI to the capital market impact of semiconductor investments, MCC students tackled some of the most pressing issues of our time. Their contributions demonstrated both academic excellence and real-world relevance, highlighting how emerging talent can actively shape conversations on innovation, markets, and policy across Europe and beyond.
Presentations from MCC's Center for Next Technological Futures were delivered by Marcell Kovács, Róbert Gombási, Gellért Banai, Zsolt Sántha, Györk Pünkösti, Csenge Vörös, Bence Bódis, and Ákos Virág in collaboration with Patrik Bruinsma and Balázs Lengyel, covering topics such as techno-nationalism, AI and health tech scaleups, fertility trends, agritech innovation, and the micro-foundations of innovation in Europe.
