D3.2 Croatian competence center: needs analysis and idea generation

The “Regulatory, Economical, Social and Political Conditions for Competence Center Setup” report explores the conditions in Croatia relevant to establishing a Competence Centre. Its purpose is to identify and evaluate the legal and regulatory framework, as well as economic opportunities and barriers, to ensure that the Competence Centre can be activated and function effectively without contextual constraints.

The main objectives are:

  • to provide a national overview of the regulatory, economic, and political conditions;
  • to map and explore social innovation ecosystems in Croatia.

The comprehensive framework describes the main elements of the social innovation ecosystem in Croatia, comprising data on the institutional context and bottom-up initiatives in the country.
The analysis shows both opportunities and challenges within the current legal and institutional environment, including regulatory gaps and limited incentives for social enterprises.

This deliverable was completed by the SEED2SCALE consortium, led by NORA, with input from national and international experts.
