EU projects create an opportunity for Croatia to unlock its full potential, raise its development standards and secure additional funding that is essential for economic growth. In a European system where every member state competes for limited resources, the effort to secure every available euro is not a choice but a necessity. This is why EU projects represent a strategic instrument through which Croatia can accelerate reforms, support the return of its diaspora and open the door to new international partnerships.

 

Participating in European programmes is not only a matter of financing, but also a matter of knowledge, technological progress and integration into networks that connect European regions. Through EU projects, we create opportunities for investment in innovation, digitalisation, infrastructure, sustainability and the development of small and medium-sized enterprises – the very areas in which the Croatian business diaspora can make a powerful contribution.

 

For Croatia, as well as for its returnees, EU projects serve as a bridge to new models of growth, access to state-of-the-art technologies and the chance to elevate domestic initiatives to the European level. This is why EU programmes are a vital part of our strategy: they strengthen national capacities, expand international cooperation and create financial conditions that make return and investment safer and more sustainable.

 

Through this segment of our programmes, we aim to ensure that Croatia, together with its diaspora, does not merely observe European funds from the sidelines, but becomes an active participant, prepared, competent and swift enough to recognise opportunities and transform them into lasting value for the country’s future.
