A Team of Experts Shaping a New Development Vision for Croatia. The Marshall Plan Croatia initiative brings together a team of top experts who, each in their own field, have dedicated their careers to the advancement of Croatia. They come from academia, agriculture, business, finance and international institutions. They live both in Croatia and abroad, united by a shared belief. Croatia can and must realise its full potential.
This team was not formed out of formality but out of a deep sense of personal responsibility for the country entrusted to us. For years they have witnessed Croatia’s unused potential. They have seen nations with far fewer resources achieve exceptional results, while Croatia, rich in land, water, knowledge and talent, often stands still. This is why they decided to combine their strengths and offer solutions that are realistic, implementable and long-term.
The team includes experts with decades of experience in agriculture, economics, finance and development policy. They have worked on international projects, led teams abroad and collaborated with institutions across Europe and the world. The group continues to grow, bringing in specialists from the Croatian diaspora who contribute valuable knowledge and perspectives from Germany, Austria, the United States and other countries. These global insights help bridge the world’s best practices with Croatia’s reality.
All members volunteer their time, driven not by personal gain but by the desire to build a country where people choose to stay, invest and create. As part of this broader mission, the CRO GREEN programme was developed. It represents a modern approach to ecological food production, rural revitalisation and diaspora engagement in development and investment. CRO GREEN demonstrates how expertise, innovation and vision can become a concrete plan with measurable social impact.
Yet the work of this team extends far beyond a single project. Their focus is on Croatia’s overall recovery. Real progress requires stable institutions, a modern agricultural sector, strong small and medium enterprises, effective demographic measures and restored trust between the homeland and the diaspora. This is why the team contributes to policy analysis, strategic proposals, diaspora-return models and initiatives capable of reshaping Croatia’s long-term development path.
Their strength lies not only in knowledge but also in character. It is precisely this persistence and personal dedication that explains the growing support for the Marshall Plan Croatia initiative. These individuals believe that Croatia can become a successful European story. They see our advantages not as a burden but as an opportunity. They believe that through joint effort, we can build the foundations for future generations.
