The business weekly Lider launched a special project LIDER INVEST, an award for the best small, medium, and large manufacturing investments in Croatia, to promote investments that create new jobs, increase exports, and generate added value. Creating a positive atmosphere through this project has been ongoing for five years, and by touring Croatian regions and holding investment mini forums, we aim to provide entrepreneurs with the necessary information about the investment climate, initiatives of local government units, opportunities and sources of financing, and we open discussions about projects that have been initiated so far.
