Core offering

Kék Bolygó Alapítvány is a Hungarian nonprofit climate protection foundation that runs educational programs for schools and students, business development support for sustainability entrepreneurs (Wave acceleration program, startup camps, mentoring), public awareness campaigns (Greendex magazine, Kék Bolygó Podcast, Planet Budapest exhibition), consumer-facing digital tools (ecological footprint calculator and Hulladékvadász waste-tracking app), and international cooperation projects focused on climate adaptation. The foundation publishes books on environmental topics and provides scientific expertise to government and corporate decision-makers, while operating as a public-interest foundation under Hungarian law.

Product overview

Kék Bolygó Alapítvány (Blue Planet Climate Protection Foundation) is a Hungarian climate protection foundation that does not offer a unified software product but operates a diverse portfolio of sustainability-focused programs and initiatives. The foundation's offerings span across four main areas: (1) Business Development — including the Wave acceleration program, venture capital fund, startup camps, and mentor programs for climate entrepreneurs; (2) Education — featuring sustainability-themed weeks, climate lectures, educational textbooks, PET-free school programs, and school garden initiatives; (3) Awareness — including the Greendex sustainability magazine, Kék Bolygó Podcast, Planet Budapest expo, and various environmental campaigns; and (4) Digital Tools — such as the ecological footprint calculator and the Hulladékvadász waste-tracking mobile application. The foundation also runs international partnerships including TEX-DAN, Twinning, SpongeCity, and Grandis programs. The foundation is a non-profit organization focused on climate awareness, environmental education, and supporting sustainability initiatives rather than commercial product development.
