PRVI KORAK (Eng. “the first step”) Entrepreneur Center Ltd. was launched at the beginning of 2012 as a result of increased demand for business support operations, particularly in the context of the upcoming integration of the Republic of Croatia into the European Union (EU) and the need for an increase in competitive and “absorptive” capacities of Croatian small and medium enterprises (SMEs). Our mission is to collaborate with the existing network of public and private SME support institutions in Croatia and in the EU in order to contribute to the process of strengthening of SME business support institutions as well as SME advisory services in Croatia. Our goal is to provide quality support and professional advisory services to SMEs and to play and active role in SME business development in Croatia.
