Hrvoje Prpić

Silicon Valley is every startup’s Holy Grail. Each day Silicon Valley is investing $775 million, which makes up to two-thirds of overall investments worldwide. After spending five months and attending 140 meetings, the big picture we have about Silicon Valley and the local investment climate gets a completely different perspective.

Mario Antonić

Industry 4.0. represents an industrial revolution. The digitalization of this industry implies introducing the communication technology, robotics and software into the production process. The purpose of digitization is to follow the trend of the most developed economies in the EU. Digitization is used to increase competitiveness and to include Croatian micro and small business owners in the process.

The Zagreb Development Agency was established with the aim of encouraging and providing advisory support to entrepreneurs, as well as to those that wish to become one. Every day they monitor the measures and activities of the institutions responsible for entrepreneurship encouragement. Moreover, they provide information on the currently available self-employment opportunities as well as on incentives for novice entrepreneurs. They offer advice upon applying for national and EU grants for non-refundable funding.
