After a year of work, the “Debreceni Programok App” has undergone a major upgrade, becoming one of the city’s most important digital platforms for cultural, sports, and community life. The app aims to present Debrecen’s events, local values, and experiences in a clear, up-to-date, and inspiring way for both residents and visitors.
The app was launched by key institutions in Debrecen: Főnix Rendezvényszervező Public Benefit Nonprofit Ltd., Debreceni Campus Public Benefit Nonprofit Ltd., Kodály Philharmonic Debrecen, Debreceni Sportcentrum Public Benefit Nonprofit Ltd., Gag Management, and the Csokonai National Theatre Debrecen. Since its launch, numerous other cultural, sports, and tourism organizations have joined, making the app a true example of city-wide collaboration.
The revamped version was developed by PW Studio Ltd., which incorporated many new features and convenience solutions based on user feedback. The app offers user-friendly interfaces, fast search and filtering options, and highlights daily events so users can always be among the first to know about Debrecen’s key programs.
The updated app was officially presented on November 13, 2025, at 1:00 PM at the Bényi Gallery of the Kölcsey Center during a ceremonial press conference. Speeches were delivered by László Papp, Mayor of Debrecen, Zita Dobos, CEO of Főnix Rendezvényszervező Nonprofit Ltd., and Péter Miklósvögyli, CEO of Debreceni Campus Nonprofit Ltd.
