We are members of the Network of Business Support Organizations – the BOND Network. The BOND Network represents a platform for the overall development of capacities and quality of services provided by business support institutions and offers entrepreneurs unified access to business knowledge, skills, partners, information, and services crucial for starting and developing a business. The network was established as a result of activities carried out within the project of developing the business support organizations network. Currently, it gathers 96 members – development agencies, entrepreneurial centers, business incubators, business accelerators, science and technology parks, and competence centers.
Project BOND 2 will further enhance the BOND Network, which currently brings together 96 entrepreneurial support institutions from all counties of the Republic of Croatia. Fifty business support organizations joined the BOND Network during the first phase of the project, and an additional 46 joined during the second phase, based on a public call held from July to January 2022.
Project goal
The general goal of the BOND 2 project is to contribute to increasing entrepreneurial activities by creating a more favourable entrepreneurial environment across all regions of the Republic of Croatia, thus ensuring stable growth and development of the entire economy.
The specific goal of the project is to improve the BOND Network by developing service standards offered by business support organizations and developing a mentoring system to provide support to entrepreneurs according to their development stage, market position, sector, and other specifics, with a focus on making these services available across Croatia at the same quality level.
