The Cooperation Agreement between Croatian Business Angels Network (CRANE) and Croatian Exporters’ Association (HIZ) was signed by Davorin Štetner the president of Croatian Business Angels Network and Darinko Bago, the President of Croatian Exporters’ Association on October 26, 2017. Under that agreement, CRANE and HIZ developed a cooperation program regarding the areas of mutual interest by joining initiatives and sharing information about the activities that promote the improvement of business environment both in Croatia and abroad.

The vast majority of start-up companies that CRANE members are investing in are focused primarily on export. This agreement is important because Croatian Exporters’ Association is a professional in this field and able to share the necessary expertise with the start-up companies so that they can successfully perform in the international market,” stated Davorin Štetner, the president of Croatian Angels Business Network.

“As an association, we are very interested to co-operate with start-ups founded through CRANE’s support, as they have products with a new value that require smaller investments in order to be ready for the global market. Therefore, to encourage the start-ups for participating in HIZ’s activities – the monthly membership fees will be minimal throughout the first year for CRANE investors’ companies that are interested and want to file a HIZ membership request”, said Darinko Bago the president of Croatian Exporters’ Association.

In order to facilitate the communication among the members and protect the common interests, CRANE and HIZ will be publishing news on the partner organization through their official web sites and make agreements to jointly organize workshops and mutually operate in accordance with the competent state institutions’ regulations.
