National Forum: Croatia in the 5th Industrial Revolution

You’re Invited: National Forum – Croatia in the 5th Industrial Revolution

We invite you to attend the National Forum: Croatia in the 5th Industrial Revolution, taking place on Wednesday, March 19, 2025, from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM, at the Accelerator Hall of the Zagreb Innovation Center (ZICER).

The event is organized by the Institute for Industry 5.0 in collaboration with COTRUGLI Business School, Hashnet, AI&Gaming EDIH, and several partner organizations.


Why Industry 5.0 Matters

Industry 5.0 marks a major shift from the automation-focused Industry 4.0. It emphasizes human-centric innovation, sustainability, and economic resilience. This emerging model supports the transition toward a future economy rooted in:

  • Circular principles
  • Advanced technologies like artificial intelligence, digital twins, and the Internet of Things (IoT)
  • Social responsibility and long-term value creation

Unlike its predecessor, Industry 5.0 does not prioritize efficiency alone—it seeks balanced progress, where people and technology evolve together.


What to Expect at the Forum

The National Forum offers a platform for key decision-makers from across sectors to connect and collaborate. Participants from industry, academia, public institutions, and research organizations will share insights, discuss solutions, and shape the strategic future of Industry 5.0 in Croatia.

Highlights include:

  • A comprehensive overview of global trends and the European Industry 5.0 framework
  • Real-world examples of best practices in Industry 5.0 implementation
  • An open discussion on strategic priorities for national adoption
  • Drafting a joint declaration to accelerate the transition in Croatia

Who Should Attend?

The forum is ideal for:

  • Industry leaders and innovation managers
  • Government and ministry representatives
  • Business associations and development agencies
  • Tech park leaders and research institutions
  • Companies implementing—or planning to implement—Industry 5.0 principles

Register Today – Limited Seats Available

Seats are limited, so we encourage you to confirm your participation as soon as possible.

Why This Forum Matters

Croatia’s transition to Industry 5.0 isn’t just about staying competitive. It’s about building resilient, future-ready systems capable of addressing global challenges—from climate change and technological disruption to demographic shifts and economic uncertainty.


We look forward to welcoming you to this important event. Let’s shape the future of Croatia’s economy—together.

Best regards,
Strategic Support for the Transition to Industry 5.0
