Innovation, information and communication technologies are among the most frequently mentioned terms when talking about overcoming the economic crisis. Long-term development of economy and society is inconceivable without one of these two components. Therefore, ICT day is organized to encourage the development of innovative enterprises in the sector of information and communication technologies, to facilitate the cooperation of IT companies in the region and to enable them a common market access. The event will be held on Wednesday 25th April 2012 beginning at 10.00 hrs in the premises of Technology Innovation Centre Međimurje, Bana Josipa Jelačića 22b Čakovec, Croatia.

The event is part of the Innoinvest and I3CT Crossborder Clustering projects which are financed under the Hungary-Croatia IPA Cross-border co-operation programme. Projects are focused at strengthening of cooperation between innovative companies and their linking with academic and innovation institutions in the bordering area.

At the event, apart from the projects, highly successful company Infinum Ltd. from Karlovac will be presented, which is focused on the development of mobile applications. The company will present its business model and development path and provide a number of useful practical advices for other IT companies that are thinking about developing mobile applications.

A key part of the event will be business meetings of IT companies (called B2B meetings) which will give the opportunity to all companies to meet colleagues (or perhaps competitors) from the sector. To interested IT companies a presentation of their products / services will be ensured as well the premises for individual meetings. Our goal is to gather as many IT companies and to encourage them, in informal gathering, to introduce and present themselves, share ideas and create conditions for future cooperation.

Gathering will be also used to present a newly equipped computer classroom of Technology Innovation Centre Međimurje for which the funds were provided under the eBusiness Project – E-business Competitiveness Improvement Programme conducted by the Croatian Ministry of Entrepreneurship and Crafts. Classroom will be used for organizing education, training and seminars in the field of ICT.
