About us​

We are a nonprofit organisation. Our goal is to make the world a more peaceful, healthier, and sustainable place and to promote the plant-based revolution through the business sector

We launched the Vegan Business Circle in Budapest, Hungary, in January 2022, and in 2024, we further developed it into an international business community in the Proveg’s Kickstarting for Good program. We are looking for local chapter leaders from several countries to expand globally. 

If you would like to join our team as a volunteer in the development and international expansion of the Vegan Business Circle, please feel free to contact us here.
