Steve Jobs bronze statue to be erected in Budapest

Steve Jobs is to have a bronze statue built in his honour in Budapest.

Hungarian software company Graphisoft SE commissioned the project in homage to the late Apple co-founder, to whom they attribute their success.

"Steve not only understood where the world was going, he shaped its future," said Graphisoft's Gabor Bojart.

"He was a true leader whose greatest achievement lay not in what he created himself, but in what he was able to inspire his people to achieve. He found the best people and inspired them to do wonders."

Graphisoft SE develops Building Information Modelling software products for architects, interior designers and planners. Jobs helped the company create its architectural design software, ArchiCAD.

Jobs passed away in October this year at the age of 56, following a lengthy battle with cancer.
