The Croatian government has transferred 38 state-owned properties, valued at approximately €20.4 million, to the City of Bakar. This land transfer, covering over 280,000 square meters, is intended to facilitate the expansion of the Kukuljanovo Industrial Zone. The project aims to attract high-tech investors and increase the local workforce from 6,100 to 10,000 employees. To support this, the City of Bakar plans to invest €26.6 million in infrastructure between 2026 and 2028.

In other sectors, the company DRACO has applied for a building permit to construct a bitumen-based production plant in Jastrebarsko, which includes commitments to environmental monitoring. Additionally, the Žito Group has completed an €8 million expansion of its Orlovnjak pig farm near Osijek, doubling its sow capacity through modernized facilities and renewable energy initiatives.
