Invest in Novska Conference: A Supportive Environment for Entrepreneurial Success

In addition to traditional activities such as the metal, wood, textile, and agricultural industries, the city Novska has recently become recognizable for the development of the gaming industry. The number of startups, companies, and crafts in this segment is continuously growing in the city, and the number of employees has increased by 16 percent in the last five years, while employment has decreased by 50 percent.

Competitive land prices, traffic connectivity, the City’s incentive measures, as well as a range of programs and measures for families and youth are just some of the reasons why investors choose Novska as a place to start or expand their entrepreneurial ventures.

Quality of life is high on the list of priorities for employers and employees, and the City is making efforts to ensure that Novska is a city tailored to every citizen, as well as a desirable destination for all those who wish to create their home in the gentle Slavonian region, a peaceful and safe environment.

Investments through programs to encourage small and medium-sized enterprises and additional funds from EU funds to strengthen the labor market through additional education and retraining contribute to the opening of new jobs. At the same time, investments are being made in social, cultural, social, and communal infrastructure, thereby contributing to raising standards and improving living conditions.
