Peter Weiler– Artist

Following the Fintech experts, a pretty unexpected newcomer to fintech was welcomed, Peter Weiler, one of Hungary’s most respected and recognised artists and entrepreneur. Peter’s specialty is to capture every day moments, activities, where the focus is on the person interacting with his environment in a casual, simple way. Peter puts quite a noticeable emphasis on innovative communication, during which one communicates with the help of art, not only by looking at it, but also applying music and space, spatial effects. Peter often organises performances and street art exhibitions, where the primary focus is today’s problems of today’s society. Currently he is undertaking his masters at New York School of Arts and finishing his studies soon.

The reason why we call him a great newcomer to Fintech is because of the breaking news of the first Hungarian NFT auction of his digital picture that was a raging success, and was sold for bitcoin. If bitcoin is the digital version of golden bars, then NFT is the digital version of an art object, he said. An NFT art object can be categorised in two different groups: one of the groups are art objects that were created physically first, for instance a painting, or a sculpture and then this art is photographed, digitalized and whereas the original piece gets destroyed.

In the other case the artist creates the piece using digital crypto apps. Basically the art piece is created digitally. Then both these types are sold and since the original pieces are always destroyed, the question of ambiguity and mass production of the copies is solved. This brand new form of art is quite fresh, however it seems it will develop to be a long lasting trend of the digital age. The art is replicable, but the unfalsifiable key belongs to its owner only and that value is now monetizing. What is also remarkable that the secondary market of such art is remarkably liquid? It gives the opportunity for artists to reach international markets easier and expand their customer base. In the USA, crypto currency is already revolutionised the financial industry and 40% of art is sold in bitcoin.

Sándor Mészáros on Szofa.eu’s campaign | Chief Editor of Kalligram Publishing

Szofa.eu, our literature-based campaign was introduced by Sándor Mészáros, Chief Editor of Kalligram Publishing, one of the oldest publishing firms of Hungary.

In 2014, Libri Publishing Group bought Kalligram, and integrated it into being one of its many publishers.

Szofa.eu’s enthusiastic founder, Árpád Mohácsi and Sándor met a long time ago. Their relationships stand on two grounds, Kalligram published Árpád’s many books and Szofa.eu is offering a monthly subscription of Kalligram newspaper within its subscription plan of getting 5 newspapers for the price of one. Sándor strongly believes, there is an ever growing need for digitalised contemporary literature and Szofa.eu’s platform makes it all possible. It offers now 6 newspapers on its platform, alongside with its own content, thus it is not only easy and incredibly user- friendly but undeniably practical at that. Szofa.eu has several well-acknowledged ambassadors of contemporary literature, such as one of the most well-known poets of our times, Janos Lackfi, and the writer Gergely Péterfy.

Szilvia Magyarvári | Founder & Dietician of Las Vegans

Another excitement was caused by the Founders of Las Vegan’s, a well-known Budapest vegan brand. Their campaign has just been launched, yet in hidden phase. The vegan restaurant chain was founded back in 2016 and since then the team has made it its main goal to serve vegan dishes that are not only meat- free, but contain all the necessary nutrients and vitamins we need daily. Having a dietician in the team certainly ensures the professional development in their recipes, and to create dishes with both criteria fulfilled, giving the restaurant chain the market advantage they need to outperform their competitors. A healthy, balanced diet is vital for maintaining everyone’s health. The most important thing is the person’s determination to have all the nutrient, vitamins and resources that are required in a well- balanced, potentially vegan diet. Veganism is spreading fast across Europe, the trend is fairly new, but twice as ambitious. More and more surveys and data show that veganism have several advantages including a healthy diet, less water and soil pollution and the decrease of human foot print by at least 50%.

Recognising this fastly increasing trend, Las Vegan’s has decided to expand the restaurant chain and enter to international markets with their franchise. Today, they have more potential franchisees already indicating their interests from all over the world. Las Vegan’s is also planning to commercialise their own vegan products and have more and more produced. During this pandemic their most important strategy is to strategize our expansion, work out all the details and find funding for our plans, so when all this is over, we can make our dreams reality.
