Introduction

Established in May 2010, the CANADIAN-CROATIAN BUSINESS NETWORK (CCBN) is an initiative of Canadian and Croatian companies, professionals, and entrepreneurs in Croatia committed to promoting and maximizing economic ties between Canada and Croatia.

The CCBN provides networking opportunities, promotion and development of bilateral business relationships, is a source of information and counsel to government bodies, and provides the required framework to formalize and support initiatives that develop and improve relations, generate additional interest, investment and/or trade between Canada and Croatia.

In addition, the CCBN is a support network of experienced professionals who can provide support, recommendations and insight to assist in the initial phases of development for companies or individuals from either country starting a business. This foundation provides a true understanding of the obstacles that may occur and provides the expertise and knowledge to overcome these barriers in order to be successful.

The CCBN...
...the voice of Canadian-Croatian businesses in Croatia.
