On 9 April 2025, the Association of Cities held the hybrid dissemination conference “Strengthening the Readiness of Croatian Local Authorities for the Digitalisation of Administration”, which brought together around 100 participants from local government units, ministries, research institutions and European initiatives.
The conference focused on strengthening the capacity of Croatian cities to lead digital transformation, with particular emphasis on the use of European tools and initiatives such as Living-in.EU, LORDIMAS and the Online Procurement Helpdesk.
Marina Tavra, Head of the Smart City Department at Split Technology Park, took part in the panel “Digital Maturity Assessments”, where she shared her experience of using the tools and advice on what to look out for. The conference showed that Croatian cities have the knowledge, will and potential for transformation, with support available from EU funds and innovation networks.
