- Let's do IT together
IT will help us meet our goal
The Croatian Government has a strong commitment to provide
a stimulating environment for development of knowledge-intensive
sectors. Innovative solutions generate competitive advantages
and the basis for profitable growth. This is why we are doing
everything to ensure that technology does not become an end
in itself. With government support, a reform of business processes
within public administrative bodies is taking place. Such
actions in the economy will drive productivity and competitiveness.
Creating favourable business conditions
All this takes place at a time when Croatia is making tremendous
efforts within the European Union accession process, and conducting
all-encompassing structural reforms in this context. We believe
reforms may be accomplished by implementing modern methods,
using modern technology and with the positive experiences
from our European surroundings.
The e-Croatia Programme was structured as a framework programme
encompassing the strategic objectives of creating a favourable
institutional and legal framework for developing a secure
electronic communications infrastructure and fostering the
innovative use of ICT's through e-Government, e-Education,
e-Health, e-Business and e-Justice. The main goal
is creating a modern, innovative and user-focused public administration
by the time Croatia becomes a full member of the European
Union, as well as achieve the level of development of content
and information services present in EU member countries. The
Programme objectives are well aligned with the objectives
of the EU i2010 Initiative.
The Croatian IT industry has more than 1500 companies, with
many of which are very successful in the international market.
Several innovative and very successful companies are represented
here at CEBIT, although the Croatian IT sector has far more
to offer in international market.
Knowing that technology is a basic precondition for establishing
such services and knowing how to use that technology in the
right way we have together accomplished many successes in
the development of the Croatian information society. IT is
helping us meet our goal.
Explore our IT potentials and meet us at CEBIT 2010 - Hannover.
