News archive - First ICT Sector Database will be implemented in Croatia

A new collaboration was recently initiated between the Croatian Chamber of Economy and the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing. This collaboration represents only the first step in a process that will bring the Croatian scientific and the economic sectors closer, and will also lead to the creation of the first Croatian ICT sector database.

The database shall allow both foreign and local enterprises and investors to easily search possible Croatian partners in the ICT sector.
Currently there are 1.600 ICT companies and organisations active in the Croatia. Thanks to the support provided by the Ministry of Science and Education and from the Central State Administrative Office for e-Croatia, all the existing competences of such ICT organisations will be first monitored and then categorized in the database.

According to the vice-president of the Economy and European affair at the Chamber of Economy, Mrs Vesna Trnokop-Tanta, the final goal is to make all the ICT capacities on-line available as well as to promote the potential of the Croatian ICT sector in an efficient way both to the Domestic and the international markets.
On the other hand as the Dean of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing, Mr Vedran Mornar, has stated, the lack of ICT experts at national level imposes a better-organized exploitation of the human and intellectual capital resources available in the country.

Finally, it is worth to be underlined that the classification of the ICT companies’ skills and competences is a pre-condition for making these organisations growing up and at the same time also a “must” for the further promotion of such organisations.
