Proposals should encourage Croatian business leaders, innovation-space influencers, scientists, rising startup stars, government officials, U.S. Government exchange program alumni, and other opinion leaders to engage with U.S. officials, business leaders and civil society representatives in a high-level dialogue to strengthen U.S.-Croatian economic ties and expand strategic collaboration with key influencers.

The Format The Forum will become the flagship event in a series of U.S. Embassy-supported programs to mark and build upon 30 years of U.S.-Croatian relations. The Forum should include panel sessions on topics of vital shared interest such as regional energy and energy diversity, U.S.-Croatia leadership in climate action, critical infrastructure protection and investment, cybersecurity, innovation and entrepreneurship, scientific and technological collaboration, medical technology, defense manufacturing, gender inclusivity, and support for underserved communities.
