Croatia and Slovenia: Collaborating to Boost AI Competitiveness in Business

In Croatia and Slovenia, there is a wealth of knowledge, innovative people, and companies that are utilizing new technologies and artificial intelligence (AI). The collaboration between the two countries has the potential to enhance the competitiveness of companies operating in these sectors. This was highlighted at a conference on the application of AI in business organized by Infobip, the Slovenian-Croatian business club SLO CRO, and the Slovenian embassy in Zagreb.

The goal of the conference was to facilitate the exchange of knowledge and experiences related to the implementation of AI in companies, with the aim of improving business processes and outcomes. The event brought together approximately one hundred participants from both countries, mainly representing companies and associations involved in AI.

Aleksandar Raić from Infobip emphasized the importance of working together on AI solutions, stating that the two countries could potentially become a central hub for AI in the region. He mentioned that AI is already widely used in large companies, including at Infobip, where they have a significant number of customers using their AI solutions and are actively working on multiple AI projects. Raić also highlighted the relevance of AI-powered assistants or bots that can communicate like humans, suggesting that such technologies could help companies streamline their operations and free up time for more creative pursuits.
