November 24, 2020 – The second edition of Entrepreneurial Mindset for Youth takes place this week, as Croatia’s top entrepreneurs will inspire the next generation.
There are only two main things wrong in Croatia today – the system and the mindset.
Changing the system is only possible if we change the mindset, and there are several great initiatives out there which are aiming to do just that.
One of the best such initiatives in recent years has been the Poduzetnik Mindset (Entrepreneurial Mindset) conference, which first took place last year. Some of Croatia’s biggest entrepreneurial minds shared their experiences of success – and failure – showing that it is possible to succeed in the modern Croatia. As part of the initiative, Croatia’s leading entrepreneurs also committed to supporting a second conference, Entrepreneurial Mindset for Youth, donating their time and expertise to inspire Croatia’s next generation of entrepreneurs.
The second edition of Entrepreneurial Mindset for Youth takes place online tomorrow, due to the current situation, and more details are in the press release below.
On Black Friday, November 27, 2020, the Entrepreneurial Mindset for Youth conference will be held. Guided by the motto “The future is you”, the conference will help high school and university students in their professional orientation by presenting them with successful Croatian entrepreneurial stories. Special emphasis will be placed on the visionary ideas of the younger generation of entrepreneurs and everything they have encountered on the road to success.
Due to the epidemiological situation, the conference will be held via YouTube, and high school students, students and other young people can follow the conference for free with prior registration on the website: Entrepreneurial Mindset for Youth.

They are people who can be an inspiration to all generations, especially young people. It is those young highly motivated people full of great ideas who can encourage an entrepreneurial venture. For a happy future in Croatia, we need to build a new mindset, the entrepreneurial one “, said Ognjen Bagatin, the initiator of the conference.
