Join AmCham’s Digital Economy Committee

Digitalization of Croatian economy, public administration and society at large has been in the forefront of AmCham’s advocacy efforts. The issue of digitalization has been discussed and covered to an extent through all of the AmCham’s committees (e-Health, automatization of public procurement processes or introduction of card payments in the public administration offices just to name a few).  

AmCham members agreed it is needed to form a Committee that would primarily focus on digital issues. Some of the proposed policy issues to work on included: 

- Multiannual financial framework of the European Union – opportunities for ICT sector and digitalization/automatization of the Croatian economy 
- What Croatia needs to do to attract ICT investment (list of enhancements the government needs to accomplish to attract ICT investments)
- Data monetization (availability of state collected data for commercial use) 
- Computer science education in schools (updating the curriculum in the educational system primary, secondary and higher education
 
On February 27, 2020 AmCham’s Board of Governors formally approved formation of the Digital Economy Committee. The next committee meeting will be organized on March 24, 2020 and we hereby invite you to join our new Committee.
