Regular activities of the Union of Croatian Innovators are: educating members how to protect their intellectual property rights, helping in the development of prototypes, organizing innovator fairs (ARCA, AgroARCA) taking part in international innovation exhibitions and other events, informing about Croatian innovations and innovators, connecting the innovators with companies, advising innovators how to start their own business (build a start-up, make a business plan, obtain grants, seek for investors, etc.), socialization and education of innovators (organizing meetings and workshops). The Union of Croatian Innovators cooperates with all institutions of national supportive environment for innovations (universities, public research institutes, business incubators, governmental agencies and ministries), has more than 1500 members. Our main aim in our youth policy is to teach the young innovators how to think as a stakeholder and not as an innovator (to think about their innovations as being outside of the project).
