They were welcomed on behalf of the Split Mayor by Antonija Eremut Erceg, Director of the Development Agency Split-RaST.
Eremut Erceg stated that the City of Split strongly supports the development of IT technologies through its development plans. Thus, she also mentioned the technology park project in Dracevac as a future place to birth new information and top technologies.
"The City of Split also financially supports this conference, which in recent years has positioned our city and Croatia as an unavoidable point on the world map of the information industry, one of the fastest-growing business industries in the world," said the head of the Split Development Agency.
Addressing the guests, Split-Dalmatia County Prefect Blazenko Boban said that even the coronavirus pandemic did not prevent the conference from being held. The city under Marjan affirmed itself as an IT scene on the global map.
