Geothermal Investment Forum Croatia
International Geothermal Investment Forum and Expo
Why Croatia?
Croatia is a geothermal hotspot in Europe, with a geothermal gradient 60% higher than the European average. This natural advantage, combined with its strategic location and commitment to the green transition, makes Croatia a prime destination for geothermal energy investment. The country’s efforts, such as the development of the Virtual Data Room, highlight its commitment to leveraging geothermal potential. With institutional backing and growing interest from international investors, Croatia is making significant strides in sustainable energy development and contributing to regional and EU energy goals.
