Students of Sveučilište Sjever / University North, well done. 👏

Yesterday, University North hosted a startup competition for their students, and we were part of it. As project partner in the HEI2MARKET Project, we developed a Startup Support & Mentoring Programme to help students prepare for exactly this kind of moment.

And it showed.

The ideas, the presentations, the confidence in that room… It’s clear that entrepreneurial talent in this region is very much alive. It just needs the right support, the right guidance, and a little push.

Our COO Ivana Culjak joined the expert jury alongside HEI2MARKET project partners, and let's just say we left genuinely impressed.

Congratulations to all participants for showing up, being prepared, and being brave enough to put their ideas on the line 🙌
And a special shoutout to the winners for their outstanding ideas and presentations. You earned it. 🏆

Some rooms just have a different energy.

👇This is what INVENTO Summit looks like when the right people are in the same place: founders who are developing, investors who are backing them, and experts who have been through it all.

Every year, the connections get stronger. The community grows.
And every year, we ask ourselves - how do we top this?

May 26, Zagreb. We're about to find out.
