Two Hungarian startups are among the best

Deutsche Telekom organized its yearly Telekom Innovation Contest to find and support new talents and technologies which could then be connected to Deutsche Telekom’s business division and its subsidiaries, innoportal.hu writes.

2016 is the first year when the event chain’s final event, the Telekom Innovation Expo, is going to be public. After Berlin and Krakow, Budapest will host the event on 23 May as part of the SMART 2016 conference.

Organizers of the Telekom Innovation Contest welcomed applicants from all over the world, including Hungary, in the categories of Smart Data Analytics, Future Communication, Industry, and IoT. Applicants had to display at least one working prototype during the exhibition.

Hungary’s biggest startup conference, the SMART 2016 conference will be held simultaneously with the Telekom Innovation Contest, so visitors can choose from a variety of programmes. The Contest’s top 10 participants will introduce their products, including the Hungarian PersonalVideo and Slamby.

PersonalVideo makes unique, interactive videos using any database, and Slamby provides a big data management platform for companies with automated categorization and language-independency.
