Joint scholarship program of Yettel and Óbuda University supporting young female talents concludes

With International Women’s Day approaching, many believe that gender equality has already been achieved. However, numerous studies show that women remain underrepresented in the fields of science, technology and engineering, and that relatively few choose these disciplines when selecting their field of study. In response to this trend, Yettel launched a scholarship program in partnership with the John von Neumann Faculty of IT at Óbuda University to make mobile technology and engineering careers more attractive to young women. Through this support, scholarship recipients were able to further develop their ideas and, in several cases, bring practical projects to life.

How has data become an almost indispensable ingredient in grain processing?

Grain processing has quietly become a highly digitized industry in Hungary. But the system only works if the network can keep up. When you consider the journey of nearly a thousand tons of raw material processed each day, from grain storage to packaged flour, tracking delivery notes alone is no longer sufficient. In a modern mill, every stage of the process generates data, from moisture sensors and particle-size analysers to thermal cameras. Just a few years ago, such information was collected, transmitted, and interpreted only in heavy industry. Today, the smooth operation of a modern mill depends almost as much on a stable internet connection as on high-quality wheat.

ProSuli's free online AI workshop continues

In recent months, new and significant artificial intelligence (AI) features have become available to almost anyone, and even professionals struggle to keep up with them. In education, it’s no exaggeration to say that AI is fundamentally reshaping the toolset students and teachers use, transforming curricula from the ground up and prompting a rethink of everything we previously assumed about the role of AI in teaching. The real question is no longer whether students and teachers use AI, but how. On 2 March, experts from Yettel’s ProSuli program will help teachers navigate the latest developments in artificial intelligence, and show how children’s preparedness and safety can be ensured in this new environment, as well as how the technology can support teachers in their everyday work.

Under the agreement between the two companies, 2Connect will provide Yettel Hungary with wholesale broadband access through its gigabit capable fixed infrastructure. As a result, fixed internet service will become available to Yettel customers in the second half of the year.

695 skaters joined hands and glided together on the City Park Ice Rink

A record-breaking crowd, buzzing atmosphere and a brand-new Hungarian achievement defined this year’s Yettel Ice Party at the City Park Ice Rink. With Vajdahunyad Castle providing a spectacular backdrop and a strong sense of community in the air, the event made history: 695 skaters linked up on the ice to set a newly verified Hungarian record, surpassing the current Guinness World Record held by skating superpower Canada.

New category added and Asian qualification at stake at the 2026 ProSuli robotics competition 
From a Hungarian classroom to one of the world’s largest robotics competitions – in recent years, it has repeatedly been proven that playful learning combined with perseverance can turn into internationally competitive knowledge. Registration is once again open for the Yettel ProSuli robotics competition. This year, teams that are completely new to robotics and more experienced participants will compete in separate categories. This way, the path from local rounds through the national finals, and even to the international competition, becomes accessible to even more students and schools.

Under an agreement between Magyar Telekom and Yettel, Telekom will gradually migrate its customers’ 2G traffic to Yettel’s nationwide radio access network starting on 20 January 2026. With this move, Telekom customers will continue to use the 2G service at the usual quality, and the change will in no way affect service for Yettel customers. The agreement aims to help the two operators make the use of available frequencies more efficient, while the cooperation also allows them to expand their 4G/5G capacity.
