About KATE
KATE as your employer
KATE Innovations is a proptech scale-up based in Utrecht. We are an ambitious and growing company specializing in software development for the real estate market.

KATE now offers IT solutions that improve collaboration between advisors, banks, and property owners within the real estate ecosystem.
