TechTra - The Hungarian AM Network

Katarina has extensive experience in Business Development, having worked for 16 years at Enterprise Ireland, the Irish government’s trade and technology agency. She has over 25 years of professional experience in both the business and public sectors across Europe, particularly in the CEE and Southeast European regions.
