WMF, the largest Festival dedicated to innovation, a project of the Search On Media group, launches the Worldwide Events project that will be held across the world, and also in Croatia. WMF Worldwide Events involves 5 continents through events and initiatives, encouraging the construction of a global network consisting of start-up innovations, companies and shareholders in the sector.

The event in Croatia has been confirmed for May 2021 in the town of Vodnjan. It will be held in partnership with the Italian-Croatian Chamber of Commerce and Infobip. Participation is free, and the broadcast will be available online via the interactive platform ibrida.io. The schedule of events will be designed in accordance with the goals and key principles of the Web Marketing Festival, guided by innovation, entrepreneurship and networking: through institutions, companies and start-up innovators from the Croatian market, offer event participants the opportunity to meet innovative foreign systems and contact relevant participants.

Startup competition is dedicated to innovative entrepreneurs and is an opportunity for fifteen Croatian start-ups to tell and present their products to companies, investors and incubators from Croatia and abroad, which open the possibility to support development through awards and investments. Award-winning start-ups, among other things, win direct participation in the WMF2021 program June 24, 25 and 26 in Rimini and online. It is the best opportunity for projects that WMF brings together with the aim of creating an innovative and sustainable entrepreneurship ecosystem globally, creating a network of companies, ideas and international projects between Italy and abroad.

“In recent months, we have realized that international cooperation is the basis for the development of coordinated and effective cooperation to achieve common goals. Promoting diversity of innovation and expanding ecosystems has always been one of the primary goals of the WMF festival, which confirms the call to accelerate the development of innovation in Italy and around the world,” said Cosmano Lombardo, CEO of Search On Media and creator of the WMF festival.

To round off the whole event, a virtual showroom was created, an ideal context for creating new business opportunities and networking with companies, start-up innovators and sector experts from around the world with the ability to make direct contact within cabins or private rooms. A special section for training and information has also been organized: live studios will broadcast presentations and discussions on the world's most important topics and trends in digital and social innovation related to Croatia, including moments for show and entertainment.
