György Nagy shares his thoughts:

“The Óbuda University extensively cooperates with top international companies continuously updating the offered knowledge level, which is why the agreement with Óbuda University was so significant for us. Within the framework of this agreement, Sigma Technology Hungary will be responsible for creating and providing a new course of lectures on Infocommunication Techniques for 3rd year students. Our first joint course starts this semester, and we are very excited to greet IT students of the University and share our hands-on experience with them.”

“We have been preparing for this event for a long time, and we are proud to add a new profile to our educational portfolio. Óbuda University is well-known for its outstanding graduates; among them is József Galamb, an engineer who devised many parts of the famous Ford Model T. We do believe we will meet loads of no less talented students there and are looking forward to welcoming them at Sigma Technology team in the future.”
