We organized the GTK High School Program for the 13th time!

132 enthusiastic high school students, 23 schools, 33 teams, 4 professional training sessions, 1 final – and countless promising business ideas. This is how the 13th GTK High School Program came to an end in the current academic year.

The program’s final took place in person on December 6, 2025. Based on preliminary evaluations, the top 20 teams were selected to present their business ideas and plans before a jury composed of entrepreneurs, professionals, and university lecturers. The final was hosted by the Faculty of Economics and Business Administration of Babeș-Bolyai University.

For this year’s High School Program, applications were open to teams of Hungarian-language high school students. In total, 132 students from 23 high schools joined the program, participating in four professional training sessions while working on the development of their own business ideas and business plans. The grand prize of the competition was 4,000 RON, along with passes to the 2026 edition of the Vibe Festival.
