In 2025, our community helped advance reforms that benefit businesses and citizens. Elevating digital transformation to the ministerial level marked a key step in Croatia’s modernization. Our advocacy also supported lower income taxes, a higher VAT threshold for small entrepreneurs, and improved health data exchange and ethical contracting. When business and policy move together, Croatia becomes more competitive, innovative, and resilient.
We advanced these achievements through active member engagement and focused advocacy. We hosted three power breakfasts – on the Lobbying Act, Court Register updates, and Fiscalization 2.0 with the Tax Administration – as well as an executive lunch with NVIDIA. We organized four major conferences, namely on healthcare, tax, ESG, and digital transformation; convened a roundtable with a City of Los Angeles delegation; and delivered expert seminars and workshops.
We strengthened international cooperation with two business delegations – one to San Francisco and Los Angeles, and one to Brussels – deepening both our transatlantic and EU-level engagement.
Our advocacy remained consistent and result-oriented. We published 15 position papers, met regularly with policymakers, and joined nine public consultations. Key outcomes include AmCham representatives joining the working group on medicine data delivery rules; adoption of amendments to the Draft Public Procurement Act; improvements in monitoring medicine shortages; and reduced fees for managing EE waste from solar panels.
