Artificial intelligence initiatives in Varaždin
Overview
Varaždin has launched several programs focused on artificial intelligence (AI) across educational and professional sectors.
In October 2026, the Centers of Excellence in Varaždin County, now operating under the European Talent Center Croatia, introduced a new AI program for gifted students. This initiative is part of a broader curriculum that includes robotics, informatics, and various sciences.
By November 2026, the city expanded its AI focus to public administration and business. In collaboration with the University of Zagreb, the city began a series of workshops for municipal employees covering topics such as generative AI and prompt engineering. Concurrently, the Varaždin Technology Park and the city announced the 8th Voogle Conference, which aims to teach small and medium-sized enterprises how to use AI tools for innovation and growth.
