We were honored to have the Consul of General of Croatia Ilija Želalić at Growth Nation February 7th discussing business opportunities for U.S. companies. The event was held at ASU SkySong from 8-10am.
Croatia, officially the Republic of Croatia, offers growth opportunities for your business – along with being a great vacation location!
Croatia is the gateway to Eastern Europe.
Growth Nation is dedicated to supporting your global growth. There were 3 topics for the meeting – 1) Croatia, 2) funding your business growth and 3) export incentives. Join us to hear about new growth opportunities.
Consul General Ilija Želalić holds B.S. degrees in Trade, Transport and Communication, and in Engineering. He is fluent in English, French, Italian, and Arabic, conversational. His diplomatic mission began in 1993 as the Head of the Economic Department at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and European integration of the Republic of Croatia. Preceding his post in Los Angeles, he served in several Croatian Embassies, including Algiers, Italy, France and Morocco. The Consul General also has experience working in the private sector, having brokered the Liner Department of the International Shipping/ Forwarding Agency, while representing several foreign shipping companies.
This event was co-sponsored by the Arizona Council for International Visitors (AZCIV). In 1992 current President of Croatia Ivo Josipovic came to Arizona as part of the International Visitor Leadership Program. He met with government and business leaders along with AZCIV members to discuss a variety of topics. Upon his return to Croatia, we ran for the National Assembly – and won.
