With Croatia as the latest addition to the EU family of Member States, F4E was eager to create a first link with Croatian industry. With this objective in mind, an F4E Information Day was organised in Zagreb in collaboration with F4E and the Croatian Governing Board Member and Industrial Liaison Officer, Tonci Tadic, in order to present the ITER project and F4E as an organisation as well as upcoming business opportunities and how to submit offers to F4E Calls for Tender. In addition, key emphasis was made on the F4E Industrial Policy. A Question and Answer session as well as face-to-face meetings were also organised in order to gather further details about the current technical state of the art in the Croatian industry and to deal with specific queries. A total of some 50 companies attended the event.
