About the Summit

In an age of relentless technological advancement, striking the right balance between innovation and tradition is more critical than ever. The MCC Budapest Summit on Technology and Society will bring together global visionaries, leading innovators, and key policymakers to explore the profound challenges and opportunities shaping our digital future.

This year’s summit will unfold over three days, beginning with a two-day event in Budapest, followed by a third day featuring a series of lectures in MCC’s regional centers. Throughout these sessions, we will tackle pressing questions at the intersection of technology and society: How can we integrate technology into education without losing human connection? Can Big Tech be effectively regulated, and if so, how? What are the implications of digital transformation on mental health and family life? Most importantly, how do we ensure that technological progress remains grounded by our foundational values?

Organized every year, the MCC Budapest Summits serve as a vital platform for addressing the defining issues of our time, not just for Hungary, but for the world.
