Mission & Goals
We created CRO STARTUP to support the interests of Croatian startup founders and employees in the country, to empower them by providing a wide range of resources, tools, and networks, and finally, to promote the startup scene on a European and international level. Key pillars of activities are: 1. Strengthen the startup community by connecting and coordinating all the stakeholders, as well as all the existing local, regional, and sector-based initiatives. 2. Pool knowledge and resources by creating a single platform that brings together all resources needed by startups in one place. 3. Eliminate regulatory barriers by helping make the regulatory framework startup-friendly, by simplifying the processes of opening and operating a startup, investing or raising funds in Croatia, and attracting and retaining talent. 4. Put Croatia on the global startup map by increasing the visibility of the startup scene on all levels - regional, European, and global.
