HBOR – Supporting the Development of the Croatian Economy

Seminar Content:

At a time when entrepreneurs are operating in what may be the most challenging period yet—where hardly any aspect affecting business operations can be considered predictable or secure, even in the short term—adapting to such circumstances and making decisions on the approach and pace of investment and growth of each individual company are crucial for prosperity and successful business performance. In addition to global geopolitical developments and the resulting market and overall financial instability that significantly impact business operations, digitalization and the green transition are trends that have already had, and will continue to have, a significant effect on corporate business decisions. As the development and export bank of the Republic of Croatia, HBOR’s mission is to provide maximum support to Croatian entrepreneurs through its products, with the aim of achieving key and strategic objectives, thereby making the Croatian economy as competitive and developed as possible.

This seminar is designed for:

• Members of the management boards responsible for finance
• Finance directors/managers/staff
• Persons responsible for strategic planning

Speaker

Nikola Ključariček has been working at HBOR for over 20 years, primarily in the field of lending, during which time he has collaborated with a large number of Croatian entrepreneurs in financing their business ventures. As a result, he has witnessed the development of some entrepreneurs from their very beginnings to their growth into large and reputable companies of importance to the Croatian economy as a whole. For the past nine years, he has been the Director of the Division responsible for large enterprises.

Throughout his career, he has participated in structuring and closing financial arrangements for some of the most important investments of key Croatian companies, from both the private and public sectors. Some of these transactions were carried out by HBOR independently, while others were implemented in cooperation with other banks and financial institutions in Croatia and abroad. In addition to traditional corporate financing, he has extensive experience with specialized project financing in the fields of energy, infrastructure, environmental protection, and renewable energy sources.
