Successful Croats from the Diaspora Coming to Croatia
The largest, best, and longest-running business networking conference between Croatia and the diaspora – MEETING G2 – will take place on November 14 and 15, 2024, at the Westin Hotel in Zagreb, the right place to connect, meet Croats from all over the world, and meet 10 top award winners. Hear their success stories, their love for the homeland, get inspired, and realize your full potential!
This year, at the anniversary edition of the Conference, we will have the opportunity to listen to multiple panels on pressing topics such as demographics and education, areas where there is interest from the diaspora to invest, such as tourism or aid to Banovina, as well as the presentation of other Croatian economic chambers operating around the world, about which entrepreneurs in Croatia are not well informed.
However, the biggest novelty at the Conference is the awarding of the “MG2 Excellence” prizes, where 10 exclusive awards will be given to 10 successful Croatian women and men, 10 businesspeople from Croatia and abroad. The award aims to recognize individuals who strengthen economic ties between Croatia and the diaspora, and vice versa, and who have achieved extraordinary business successes during their professional careers. Each laureate will receive a “Mate Croata” stone sail statue, and the Croatian public will be particularly interested in the laureates from abroad, as these are exceptionally successful individuals who are little known in Croatia.
The first day of the Conference is traditionally reserved for “Who’s Who in G2?”, a program that gives all participants the opportunity to briefly introduce themselves and exchange contacts with others. We will start on a festive note with the now traditional wine panel – “Croatian Sparkling Wines.” We believe our loyal participants will be pleased with the continuation of this tradition of presenting Croatian wines and wine regions. This will be followed by a formal dinner where business collaborations are often formed.
The second day will feature panel discussions on investment and entering the Croatian market, demographics and the labor market, a gathering of representatives from the largest Croatian chambers and associations around the world, discussions on education, AI, exciting projects launching in Croatia, a new perspective on tourism, cultural heritage, and business opportunities emerging in this area.

Filming of the Documentary “Our People” in Australia
Members of Unimedia, our friendly and partner association for promoting audiovisual and performing arts culture from Zagreb, spent five weeks in Australia filming the documentary “Our People,” with the help of our Meeting G2 Association. They did what we do best – connecting them with Croats in Australia to provide local support and facilitate their travel and organization of visits.
No one has ever visited so many communities at once. They started in Perth and traveled by car, visiting Croats living in Australia and socializing with them through Croatian clubs, Croatian Catholic centers, sports clubs, and meeting interesting individuals, artists, athletes, businesspeople, scientists… They captured everything with their cameras about the creation and development of the Croatian community, which, with its rich tradition, culture, and heritage, contributes to Australia’s multiculturalism and leaves a significant mark in various fields of Australian culture, science, and art.
During the tour, they also screened a short video, “Croatia Business & Living.”
Now, we all eagerly await spring 2025 when the film “Our People” will be completed. Until then, you can view photos from the filming on their Facebook page, Unimedia.
