Introductory letter from the President of the
Croatian Chamber of Economy

We live in a world of rapid changes and endless exponential growth and development. The economic and pandemic crisis have shown that only those ready to make changes can survive in such dynamic conditions. Only a few who excel in such an environment can overcome the given situation and achieve tremendous success in the national and foreign markets. We want to be your partner on this journey and give you a helping hand to make your business vision come true by using our resources – primarily our strong network of business partners in Croatia and abroad, our knowledge base, database and contacts – and to adequately present your ideas, products and services at international fairs and professional conferences.
The Croatian Chamber of Economy is aware that all institutions need to be more agile. Therefore, we ourselves have started the process of transformation aimed at increasing the quality of our own services, which will eventually benefit the entire economy. Keeping in mind the opportunities opening up for Croatian companies in global conditions, we must find our own new models for success together, at the same time adjusting to the changing world, with the aim of attracting foreign investments and global companies to our country.
In order to improve the entrepreneurial and investment climate in Croatia as well as to fulfil the growing EU requirements, our future work will focus on strengthening the economy so as to make it interesting for investors, who will help with the long-term economic resilience and competitiveness in cooperation with Croatian companies, thus creating added value. Changes are necessary for the Croatian economy to reach the very top of European and global competitiveness rankings, to support ease of doing business, fairness of legislative procedures and uniformity of legal and administrative processes, which must be expedited and simplified if we want Croatia to attract the very best.
Through active participation in the Chamber’s work, you can contribute to creating a better business climate in the country. The Chamber’s experts know the business practices in all foreign markets and are connected with economic associations across Europe and the world.
The Croatian Chamber of Economy will continue investing all its knowledge and experience, gained throughout its rich, 170-year-long history, in supporting the economic entities and attracting new investments to Croatia. Our employees are at your disposal at our head office in Zagreb, county chambers and our representative offices abroad.
Sincerely,
