Croatia Diaspora: the Business Opportunity

ZAGREB, October 27, 2018 – The fourth edition of the MEETING G2 conference titled “A Look into the Future”, focused on creating business links between Croats in their homeland and abroad, will take place on November 12-14, 2018 at the FORUM Congress Center in Zagreb. Just like the previous three, this year’s conference will be organized under the high auspices of the President of the Republic of Croatia, Kolinda Grabar-Kitarović, and with the support of numerous state and local institutions.  

The conference organized by a multidisciplinary group of Croats from the diaspora and the homeland, as in the previous years is expected to gather numerous successful businessmen of Croatian origin from the world over, as well as companies from Croatia wishing to present themselves and network in order to develop both existing and new products and services. Previous editions of the Meeting G2 featured more than 150 Croats running successful businesses in 26 world countries, and in total the conferences gathered over 550 participants who made valuable contacts and exchanged numerous ideas.  

“The main goal of the conference is still to facilitate the networking of businessmen of Croatian origin from all over the world, to increase our diaspora’s investments into the homeland, to promote Croatian products and the country in all continents, and to halt the ‘brain drain’. We are convinced that Croatia has great untapped potential and a very good quality of life, and we firmly believe that Croatia indeed has a population of 8 million, and not just the 4.3 million living in Croatia!“, said the president of the Meeting G2 Association, Josip Hrgetić.

This year’s conference will also present possibilities for investing into Croatia, best practice examples and specific features of different industries. The first day is reserved for “Who’s Who in G2?“, where every participant will be able to present themselves briefly and exchange contacts with others, as well as for a “Pitch Session” where 10 Croatian startups will present themselves with the aim of obtaining financial support from businessmen from all over the world.

The second day is reserved for seven panel discussions covering the topics of tourism, Croatian delicacies, blockchain initiatives, the state of play on the real estate market, but also discussing the potential of Croatian chambers of commerce worldwide and the preconditions for greater investments by the diaspora into the country. The panels will feature more than 40 participants, well-known Croatian businessmen from the country and abroad, as well as representatives of state and local institutions.

For example, the panel titled “Success Comes through the Stomach” or production of delicacies in Croatia, along with representatives of the companies Agropošta, Volim Ljuto: I Like It Hot and Podravka, will also include Neb Chupin, creator of the Dida Boža, i.e. Dalmatia brand, who has been successfully placing delectable spreads on the global market. Another panel of note will be the one on “Croatian Tourism – Out of the Box”, to discuss non-traditional forms of tourism that could extend the tourist season.
