About us
What is CatchIT?
This meetup is the first international, community-centered event designed to connect locals and internationals through open conversation, knowledge sharing, and cultural exchange. Each session offers engaging talks from professionals working with Webstar and student speakers, creating space for authentic exchange, learning, and networking. The format is intentionally relaxed and inclusive, encouraging participants to practice English, gain insight into the software and business world by connecting across cultures. Over time, the series aims to build a vibrant, supportive community around shared curiosity and collaboration in tech.
Purpose
The purpose of the series is to build a vibrant local tech community in Pécs by creating a welcoming, international space for mutual learning, cultural exchange, and language practice. It offers students valuable, hands-on insights into the tech industry while also showcasing emerging talent. At its heart, the series aims to build bridges—between professionals and students, local and international voices, and between fresh ideas and real-world opportunities in technology.

◆ TALENT SPOTLIGHT ◆
Prosper Iheanacho /Founder @ InCharge Education/: Navigating Entrepreneurship from the Classroom to the Marketplace
This talk explores the journey of turning a university-born idea into a real-world product. I will share how InCharge evolved from a classroom concept into a pilot used across multiple courses, highlighting the practical challenges of validation, stakeholder buy-in, and building while studying. The session focuses on bridging academic learning with market needs, and how early experimentation inside universities can de-risk entrepreneurship.I will also reflect on lessons learned as a student founder—balancing coursework, part-time work, and product development—while navigating institutional systems and real users. The goal is to offer practical insights and encouragement to students interested in entrepreneurship, showing that meaningful ventures can start before graduation.
