Highlights from the 2026 Spring iExpo

A total of 88 teams registered for the PTE iExpo, with nearly 300 students arriving from 7 faculties, while close to 70 corporate experts from 36 partner companies took part in the event. Students presented their projects, research, and business ideas in a dynamic, inspiring, and professional environment.

iExpo is not merely about showcasing student projects: it is a unique opportunity where participants can receive professional feedback, improve their presentation skills, and connect directly with corporate partners. This year’s event once again demonstrated that creativity, problem-solving, and interdisciplinary collaboration play a prominent role among the students of the University of Pécs.

This year’s competition offered a total cash prize pool of HUF 1.15 million, alongside a number of valuable special awards. We are grateful to our partners, whose professional presence and contributions once again helped raise the standard of iExpo.
