Absztrakt (kivonat)

Responsible innovation is a new idea, but responsibility has always been an important element of innovation. The framework of responsible innovation is gaining increasing relevance all around the world, thus in Hungary too. There exists a paradox, according to which Hungary currently has a very modest innovation-related result in international rankings, but the country can be proud of some leading (even world leading) innovator companies in the frontline of global markets. In this paper, I present three Hungarian innovators who have played and still play a very crucial role in the companies that they have founded (or privatized). From an open, small, capital-lacking and export-oriented country – like Hungary – mainly the IT industry can provide world leading ideas and companies. Without any degree in economics or business administration, all three men are classical examples of Schumpeterian entrepreneurs, but they also show responsibility towards the society and towards the country, especially in the field of innovation and education. They have received many prizes, but two of them refused any kind of financial state subsidies, on the grounds that taxpayers’ money should be invested in education according to their values regarding social responsibility. The respect for their companies and for their responsible entrepreneurship attitude generates not only from Hungary, but also from abroad; even the president of the United States, Barack Obama made a speech mentioning the USD 100 million investment in the American educational system which followed his request from one of these Hungarian companies. Prezi.com has just received the Europas Award, which is one of the most prominent European start-up prizes.
