Croatian Startup Ecosystem

Why CRO STARTUP?

It all begins with an idea. And, in our case, a startup momentum that we need to build upon. Croatia is now a country with two unicorns, but they succeeded despite, and not because of our fostering ecosystem. We are here to help create one.

Connect and coordinate all the stakeholders, as well as all the existing local, regional, and sector-based initiatives. Organize events that will allow networking and exchange of experiences. Showcase Croatian startups to the general public.
Create a single platform that brings together all resources needed by startups in one place. Make industry-standard legal documents in Croatia so startups and investors can focus on company and deal-specific matters.
A long-term goal that relies on broader reforms. But it boils down to helping make the regulatory framework startup-friendly, by simplifying the processes of opening and operating a startup, investing or raising funds in Croatia, and attracting and retaining talent.
Increase the visibility of the startup scene at all levels and transform the perception of Croatia from a country great for holidays to a country with a strong and vibrant startup scene full of globally-relevant projects with great potential.
