AUSTIN, Texas, March 4, 2025 As the U.S. faces a growing shortage of skilled STEM professionals, one woman is building a transatlantic bridge to solve it. Andrea Hrusovska – visionary businesswoman, HR strategist and founder of HR4U Solutions,and leader of Slovak PRO Austin, is spearheading efforts to connect Slovakia's top tech talent with Texas's booming innovation economy while championing STEM education for the next generation.

This mission will take center stage at "Going BIG in TEXAS," during SXSW festival. This will be the largest business event ever organized by Slovakia in the United States, happening in Austin on March 9, 2025.

Empowering Future Innovators

In addition to bridging international business, Andrea Hrusovska is deeply committed to strengthening America's talent pipeline. Through her company, HR4U Solutions, she partners with universities, school districts, and women's leadership organizations to support underrepresented groups in STEM and prepare students for high-demand careers in technology and engineering.

"I believe the future of innovation depends on creating opportunity, both across borders and within our communities," said Hrusovska. "By connecting Slovakia's world-class talent with Texas's ecosystem, and by inspiring more young people to pursue STEM careers, we're building something truly global."

Andrea Hrusovska's commitment to this mission is also reflected in her Amazon #1 new release, Born to Be Successful, a motivational guide for students, parents, and educators focused on navigating STEM pathways.

A Gateway for Global Talent

After successfully leading seven Slovak companies to SXSW in 2024, Hrusovska and her partners at SARIO (Slovak Investment and Trade Development Agency) and Slovak PRO have doubled participation for 2025. "Going BIG in TEXAS" will not only feature rapid-fire startup pitches and industry panels, but also high-level networking to unlock new transatlantic partnerships.

As the ties between Slovakia and Texas grow stronger, the opportunities for international collaboration, workforce development, and innovation have never been greater.
