The Victorian Croatian Chamber of Commerce (VCCC) is a new initiative by members of Victoria’s Croatian community, who have come together to create an all-inclusive forum designed to unlock the commercial potential of Croatian society, both local and overseas. Our mission is simple - to encourage and enable the entire Croatian community and its friends to work together, to accomplish collectively what we cannot as individuals. The VCCC is committed to assisting to its members in developing and growing each of their respective businesses. This will be done by: 1. facilitating networking between members, between members and the wider business community in Victoria, Australia and Croatia; 2. providing an opportunity for members to advertise their business goods and services to other members and the wider business community; 3. providing information to assist members in locating and engaging in trade with other members for their mutual benefit; and 4. hosting seminars and workshops to members to assist them to increase their knowledge of business related matters (including legal, accounting and taxation issues) and to supplement their business skills. We are also dedicated to fostering the growth of economic relations between Australia and Croatia, particularly at this pivotal time, given Croatia’s recent entry into the European Union. The VCCC can assist members in identifying opportunities for investment in Croatia and for partnerships with Croatian enterprises looking to engage the Australian market. Becoming a member of the VCCC places you at the heart of this new and exciting journey. It will provide you with access to people, information, advertising and promotional opportunities required to develop your business and enhance individual prospects.
