The most important representatives of the Croatian entrepreneur scene will get together, under the motto 'Let's Make Entrepreneurs the Leaders of the Society'. Croatian entrepreneurs are the ones that should become the initiators of the changes within the Croatian society, first and foremost by adopting fully the entrepreneurial mindset, and making it understood among the general public.
Organized by the magazine Poduzetnik ('The Entrepeneur') and with the help of their programming partner, the esteemed consulting and revision company EY, the one-day event titled Poduzetnički mindset (The Entrepeneurial Mindset) will be held in Zagreb on September 12th, in the Music Academy in Zagreb (right across the street from the Croatian National Theatre, and literally next to the Museum of Arts and Crafts). Over 300 people belonging to the entrepreneur niche, those trying their luck in the start-up world and students from all over Croatia, as well as potential investors and representatives from the government and financial institutions, will participate in the event.
The main idea of the project is to make Croatian entrepreneurs the leaders in Croatian society. The participants of the conference will get together to exchange the know-how and the examples from their everyday work, make more permanent co-operations, network more strongly and encourage young entrepeneurs to be persistent, to cultivate the atmosphere of synegry and innovation. The speakers at the event will be some of the most well-known Croatian entrepeneurs: Emil Tedeschi, the CEO of the Atlantic Group, Mate Rimac from Rimac Automobili, Alan Sumina, founder of Nanobit, serial entrepeneur and investor Saša Cvetojević and the American Ambasador to Croatia, Robert Kohorst. The speakers at the conference will tell their stories, their ups and downs and the lessons they've learned, and try and teach others with their examples.
The conference will close by putting the presented entrepreneurial mindset in a common framework, which will help the government institutions see the importance of supporting the healthy entrepeneurship, as an impetus for the development of the economy and the changes in the Croatian society.
