Educational initiatives in Croatia have focused on expanding technical, scientific, and entrepreneurial skills among students and local professionals.

Initial efforts included STEM-based research at Bedekovčina Primary School, where students conducted scientific observations and experiments related to fruit preservation. Simultaneously, the Dubrovnik Development Agency (DURA) launched its fourth annual ‘Entrepreneurship in Primary School’ project to teach students business model methodology.

Subsequent programming shifted toward digital literacy and creative technologies. In Sisak, Učilište Procesor has organized free education via vouchers for programs including 3D modeling—aimed at architecture, design, and gaming industries—and digital photography. In Dubrovnik, DURA’s Startup Academy hosted workshops such as ‘Sam svoj dizajner: Canva & AI za moderno poslovanje’ to teach entrepreneurs how to use Canva and artificial intelligence for branding and social media.

Recent efforts have further expanded into professional AI training and business automation. The incubator StartupVG launched a ‘StartupVG Masterclass’ series, featuring sessions on the real-world use of AI agents and tools like Claude Code to solve professional problems. Additionally, PAR University in Rijeka is conducting its ninth generation of the ‘Application of Artificial Intelligence in Business’ micro-qualification program, teaching professionals the principles of large language models and generative AI to maintain market competitiveness.
