Creation of the Ministry for Digital Transformation of Croatia
Creation of the Ministry for Digital Transformation of Croatia
AmCham proposes the establishment of a Ministry for Digital Transformation to centralize the management of digital policies.
The position paper emphasizes that a prerequisite for the realization of Croatian KPIs for digitalization and the fulfillment of the ambitions outlined in the relevant strategies is the establishment of a new ministry that would be in charge of digitalization.
AmCham's recommendations are in line with the opinions of relevant international organizations and the Croatian government should establish a "Ministry for Digital Transformation" or transform the existing Central State Office for the Digital Society Development into a ministry. This would provide a much-needed holistic approach that would help realize the full benefits of digital transformation for Croatia's economy and society. The specific activities and area of competence of this ministry are described in more detail in the position paper.
