Last Thursday in Pula, contracts were ceremonially signed for the allocation of non-repayable grants awarded by the County of Istria for 2025 in the fields of information and communication technology (ICT) development and entrepreneurship support. Among the successful applicants were PENTA GRUPA d.o.o. and PENTA d.o.o., both of which were awarded funding through different measures aimed at strengthening local entrepreneurship and supporting digital transformation.

PENTA GRUPA d.o.o. received funding through Measure 2: Co-financing the further growth and development of existing ICT products and services, which will enable the continued development of technological solutions and help boost competitiveness on the market. On the other hand, PENTA d.o.o. was selected for support under Measure 4: Grants for digital transformation of small businesses, allowing for further investments in business process improvement, the use of modern ICT solutions, and increased capacity for digital operations.

Once again, the County of Istria is strongly supporting the ICT sector, recognizing it as a key driver of innovation and the development of other economic branches. As County Prefect Boris Miletić emphasized, the goal is to increase the efficiency and competitiveness of local businesses through investments in innovation, employee education, digital solutions, and international business expansion.

We would like to express our sincere thanks to the County of Istria and the Department for the Economy for the awarded grants and the ongoing support in strengthening innovation, digital transformation, and sustainable development. We look forward to continuing our collaboration and contributing to the creation of a modern, competitive, and technologically advanced region.
