MeOut

Skills CoLab came to a close today, but the conversations and new partnerships are only beginning.

Over the past days, we exchanged perspectives on vocational education and training systems from across the world, explored new project ideas, and discussed the growing range of industries in which drone technologies can create value.

It was a pleasure to reconnect with current partners, including the Rwanda TVET Board and the Namibia Training Authority, while also meeting potential new partners from universities in Jamaica and China, Office of the Vocational Education Commission of Thailand, the UNESCO delegation, and promising startup founders.

We were also delighted to give an interview to a Chinese agricultural newspaper and share how the AgriDrone initiative connects emerging technologies with practical, future-ready skills.

Thank you to everyone who met us, exchanged ideas and explored opportunities for cooperation. We look forward to turning these conversations into meaningful international partnerships.

What can 20 years of building Prezi teach us about riding technology waves and creating value? 🚀

At MeOut Summit, we’ll hear from Ádám Somlai-Fischer, Co-Founder and Principal Artist of Prezi, in his keynote: Finding and creating value in 2 decades of riding the technology waves with Prezi.

From architecture and interaction design to experimental technology and entrepreneurship, Ádám has spent his career exploring what happens when technology, creativity, and new ideas come together.

Get a fresh perspective on finding opportunities in a constantly changing technology landscape.

Today, the WorldSkills Conference officially begins in Shanghai. 🇨🇳

Following yesterday evening’s opening of the WorldSkills Competition, today marks the opening of the WorldSkills Conference bringing together leaders from education, government, industry and the global skills community to discuss the future of skills.

The opening featured Li Qiang, Premier of the State Council of China; Francis Hourant, President of WorldSkills International; Wang Xiaoping, Minister of Human Resources and Social Security of China; and Anwar Ibrahim, Malaysia’s Prime Minister.

Why Budapest? Why Hungary? 🇭🇺

Start with the money: Hungary raised €100M in venture capital in the first two months of 2026 alone, with more than half going into Deep Tech.

But capital is only one part of the story.

Hungary is also strengthening its talent and research base, with R&D personnel growing by nearly 90% over the past decade, alongside a growing pipeline of ICT and PhD talent.

Put that together with Budapest’s location at the heart of Central Europe, and you have a place where capital, talent, technology, and international connections meet.

On 25-26 November, MeOut Summit brings 1,000+ founders, investors, innovators, and ecosystem builders together in Budapest to connect, exchange ideas, and explore what’s next for Europe’s innovation ecosystem.
