HUNGARY GENERAL ELECTED DEPUTY HEAD OF NATO DIANA BOARD

 

Imre Porkoláb, brigadier-general of the Hungarian military, has been elected deputy head of the board of directors of NATO’s DIANA innovation network, the defence ministry said on Monday. The network, based on a NATO summit decision passed in June last year, is to provide a link between member states’ innovation ecosystems and provide a framework for cooperation between start-ups, small businesses, and universities, the ministry said. In his new position, Porkoláb will work with NATO leaders and heads of DIANA to identify strategic directions and make relevant plans, the statement said.
