Visiting the Poreč Business Incubator

On the occasion of Women's Day, the president of the Istrian County Branch of the Circle, Gordana Restović, and vice-presidents Katja Ukušić and Katarina Peršurić, together with the president of the Croatian Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Pula, Jasna Jaklin Majetić, visited the Poreč – Parenzo Business Incubator in Žbandaj. They met with the director of the Business Incubator, Morena Mičetić Fabić, and the project coordinator, Irena Šker, with whom they discussed the activities planned for this year in cooperation with the City of Poreč.

Members of the KRUG association were informed about the support that the City of Poreč provides to entrepreneurs, with an emphasis on measures for women entrepreneurs and the benefits that entrepreneurs receive through the use of the Business Incubator.

The city of Poreč was the first in Croatia to introduce the practice of free kindergarten for female entrepreneurs - a measure that includes six months of free kindergarten for beginning female entrepreneurs and which has had a fantastic response throughout Croatia. This idea and example will certainly be promoted in the future activities of the Istria branch.

A national conference of the Croatian Association of Business Women Krug has been announced, which will be held in May in Šibenik and will also be used to promote good practices for women entrepreneurs and other support aimed at empowering and promoting women's entrepreneurship.

After visiting the Business Incubator, the Circle members, accompanied by the Head of the Administrative Department for Finance of the City of Poreč, Tatjana Matošević, visited the Promohotel fair, where they met with women entrepreneurs at the stand of the Pula County Chamber of Commerce and Industry, through which the KLIK Pula project was promoted, and accompanied by the fair director, Ivana Štiković, they visited the exhibitors and exchanged experiences with them.
