Croatia - Projects & Programs

Science & Technology Project

The objective of the Science and Technology Project for Croatia are: (a) to enable research and development (R&D) institutions to commercialize research outputs; and (b) to increase the ability of enterprises, particularly small and medium sized companies, to invest in R&D activities. The changes are: (i) revised Project Development Objective (PDO) and associated outcome indicators, removing the objective of restructuring research and development institutions and therefore focusing on the objectives of enabling the commercialization of public research and fostering private sector R&D; and (ii) the extension of the closing date of the project from November 30, 2009 to May 31, 2011 and the reallocation of loan funds between disbursement categories, cancelling the sub-component related to the creation of a venture capital fund (VENCRO) and increasing the allocation to programs that directly and indirectly support business R&D.**
