The Balaton Solar Boat Challenge is an initiation of the University of Pannonia, which shares the project with the Veszprém-Balaton 2023 European Capital of Culture programme, the Hungarian Sailing Association, the Solar Sport One and the Municipality of Balatonalmádi. The latter provides the event venue. The BSBC, as one of the major sport and cultural events of the Veszprém-Balaton 2023 ECOC programme year, aims to set a good example and serve as a model for other cities.
