About Dr. Igor Kister

I have spent more than 25 years working across borders — from international markets in Asia to building and transforming industrial organizations in Central and Eastern Europe. I have led change from conventional technologies to electrification, and from local operations to cross-border teams.

Beyond Borders shares what that experience teaches about Europe's industrial future. Austria is home; Germany, Slovakia and Serbia shaped how I see it.

An independent personal publication. Views expressed here are my own.
