Hundreds of mentees get free gastronomic knowledge | Piqniq 2.0 is launched

After the success of the Piqniq Budapest and Mastercard 2020 Learn, improve!—Big picture of gastronomy campaign, Piqniq 2.0 was born, with an emphasis on sharing knowledge and experience.


The campaign targets both professionals and those who have a higher level of interest in gastronomy with their content, including videos, podcast series, reports and knowledge collections, and as a new element, the Piqniq patron mentoring program will also be launched.

Piqniq aims to create a community of active gastronomy based on knowledge sharing. All Piqniq Patrons, who are recognized professionals in their field, contribute to the “collective,” be it individual mentoring, workshops or visits, and then members of the piqniq community who want to learn and improve can apply for these offers by sending a motivation letter.

The list of Patrons is constantly expanding, but you can already apply for the following at piqniq.hu/piqniq-pro/:
