MBF Building Business – The most prestigious business event in the region

MBF brings together key leaders from the private, public, and academic sectors in one place, fostering strategic collaborations, innovation, and investments, while turning ideas into projects and connections into partnerships.

In Croatia and the region, there are many high-quality conferences and business events, each focused on its own industry, niche, or topic. However, there was a lack of a single space that connects all industries—a place where everyone feels they belong, regardless of their field.

MBF was created precisely to meet this need: to establish a central business event that brings together leaders, investors, and innovators in one place.

For participants, it offers access to the latest trends, innovations, and market opportunities – all in a unique space where the future of business is being built today.
