New Industrial and Services Focus
The region has traditionally been focused on labour-intensive industries such as textiles and leather processing; however, the focus has recently moved to the advanced technology sector and developing sophisticated processing industries. Croatia’s largest poultry and dairy processing plants are situated here, and its modern feed mills are not found anywhere else in this part of Europe. Regional construction industry has developed into a major industrial force. It is competing for work in Southeastern Europe and the Middle East, successfully meeting clients’ expectations due to the quality of service provided and the availability of resources in the county. Construction companies from the region have also participated in building more than 400 kilometres of new highway in Croatia in the last five years. North Croatia Technology Parks are home to award-winning inventors and product developers. Innovative metal and steel products from the region are to be found in the global marketplace, and software developers from the region are providing services in the United States and other overseas markets.
