evosoft rocket soars in the sky of BME

Hungary's leading software development company, evosoft Hungary, is participating in another promising university project. This time, they are involved in the BME Suborbitals rocket development.

The official signing ceremony for this agreement took place on October 29, 2024, at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics, where Emma Fertő, President of BME Suborbitals, Dr. Charaf Hassan, Rector of BME, and István Petényi, evosoft Hungary CEO, sealed the collaboration with their signatures.

István Petényi emphasized in his speech that "A collaboration as complex and deeply rooted in industrial expertise as the BME – evosoft partnership is rare. evosoft is committed to developing the next generation of engineers, reinvesting one of the company's greatest assets – practical software knowledge – back into education. Our company has always treated BME as a key partner and has high hopes for future collaborations, including in the field of R&D.”

The strategic collaboration between the two institutions dates back decades, starting with the sponsorship of the RobonAUT competition. Today, evosoft colleagues give lectures at several university faculties, provide practical training at the evosoft headquarters, conduct lab seminars, participate in dual education programs, and offer scholarships to university students. Meanwhile, they plan to launch a new course called Prototyping, focusing on 3D and model design, from the next semester and support attracting international students to Hungary in cooperation with EELISA.

evosoft contributes to the BME Suborbitals rocket development not only by producing the hardware components in the evosoft TinkerLAB innovation laboratory but also by providing know-how and IT expertise. Additionally, they enhance the smooth operation of the teams through the development of agile methodologies.

Our common goal with this collaboration is to strengthen the connection between industry and education, and to ensure that students graduate with the most up-to-date knowledge and experience.
