Through several waves of emigration, almost as many people have left Croatia as currently reside in the country today. Many of them and their descendants are now successful entrepreneurs, experts, and business leaders with valuable international experience, capital, and business networks. Despite this, the potential of the Croatian diaspora remains underutilized. Opportunities for stronger connections between Croatia and its emigrant community will be the focus of the "Diaspora – An Untapped Economic Potential" panel at the Vukovar Business Forum – Meeting G2.12 conference, which will gather successful representatives of the Croatian diaspora and the international business community.
