🇭🇷 Croatia, an innovation hub at the heart of Europe Alongside its historic industrial groups, Croatia is establishing itself as a land of technology with Infobip, Rimac Group and Orqa FPV. The Bugatti Rimac partnership shows the potential of our synergies in future mobility. The recent creation of the French Tech Zagreb, which will enable our entrepreneurs, researchers and investors to develop new projects together, is proof of this.

Congrats to the French Tech Zagreb for all the actions already undertaken to deepen relations between 🇫🇷and 🇭🇷tech & innovation ecosystems. I am certain that yesterday's meetings, in the framework of Croatian Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic's official visit to France, will bring more cooperations in the coming months.

Thank you very much for the invitation! After my Erasmus exchange studies at Sorbonne, and having lived in Paris and travelled across France, I fell in love with the language, the country, and its people. I am very happy to have this opportunity to maintain my connection with France, even though I am now back home working in Zagreb.
