MAKING INNOVATION HAPPEN IN Croatia! 
By Empowering Innovation & Shaping Future Together

The European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) has recently launched its newest hub in Croatia, aiming to connect regional innovators and partners with Europe's largest innovation ecosystem. This hub, part of the EIT Regional Innovation Scheme (EIT RIS), is designed to foster collaboration between businesses, educational institutions, and research organizations, providing local talent and entrepreneurs with valuable opportunities in education, business creation, and innovation. It also addresses Europe’s innovation divide and aims to enhance regional competitiveness, contributing to sustainable economic growth in Croatia.

Representing all of EIT’s Knowledge and Innovation Communities, the newly established hub will serve as a central information source for local innovators, offering access to various services and opportunities available through the EIT Community, both in Croatia and across the EU and Horizon Europe-associated countries. It will also support collaboration with local authorities and provide expert policy guidance.

To celebrate this exciting development, join us on March 6, 2025, from 09:00 to 14:00 CET at the venue in Zagreb, Croatia, for the EIT Community Croatia Kick-off Event. Don’t miss the opportunity to engage with regional and European innovation leaders and explore the opportunities offered by the new hub!
