Scale 2.0 opens applications: six spots available for New York and mentorship with experts from Google, Microsoft, Goldman Sachs, and Infobip

The incubator that connects Croatian startups with global markets has opened applications until April 19 – participation is free

Skip to table of contents

Vodnjan, April 7, 2026 – The Scale 2.0 incubator program, which last year took six Croatian startups to New York, has opened applications for a new cycle. Scale 2.0 is an incubator for Croatian early-stage startups, launched by the Infobip Startup Tribe initiative and the New York–based organization Entrepreneurs for Global Change (EGC), with a clear goal – to bridge the gap between Croatian startups and global markets.

All startups headquartered in Croatia can apply, provided they have at least two founders over the age of 21 and a developed basic product (MVP) or initial users on the market. Selected startups participate completely free of charge and without giving up equity – the program fully covers travel, accommodation, and participation. In return, they will have the opportunity to work with mentors from Microsoft, Slidebean, Goldman Sachs, Columbia Startup Lab, Google, Monday.com, LinkedIn, Antler, and Infobip, take part in workshops tailored to the real challenges of their business, and present their ideas to investors at one of the leading regional tech conferences – Infobip Shift.



Startup accelerators usually require an equity stake in the startup, and this is exactly where Scale 2.0 stands out, as it is more than just a startup program. It is a space where we have truly built – and continue to maintain – close relationships with startup founders, follow their growth, and continue supporting them in all their new ventures. We worked with 12 startups in Vodnjan, and six were selected for an intensive week in New York, where they had the opportunity not only to build meaningful relationships with mentors and investors, but also to truly experience the New York way of life. This year’s edition will be even richer thanks to an expanded network of mentors and investors. We are eagerly looking forward to new applications and the new stories we will write together.”

Lucija Reić

Startup Ecosystem Lead at Infobipu

Last year’s participants described the experience as a turning point, not only professionally but also personally. During the program, they tested their own limits, received concrete feedback and advice from investors, and built valuable connections that supported their further development. The value of this entrepreneurial incubator is also confirmed by now-successful startups that went through the program in its early stages, including CircuitMess, Orqu, Airt.ai, NuoTwo, and Robotiq.ai.

Participating in the Scale 2.0 program was an extremely valuable experience for xolvi, giving us the space to reflect on our growth from a broader, global perspective. We had the opportunity to reassess how we build our product, how we communicate value, and how we position ourselves towards the market and investors. It was especially meaningful to be part of an environment where experiences and concrete advice are openly shared by people who truly understand the startup journey. Scale 2.0 brought us not only valuable insights and connections, but also confirmation that what we are building has potential far beyond the local context. And of course, it introduced us to incredible people who were part of both the program and the organization.” said Mirna Horvat, co-founder and CEO of Leapwise and xolvi.

The 12 selected startups this year can expect an intensive bootcamp in Vodnjan focused on three key areas: product development, go-to-market strategy, and preparation for international markets. After Vodnjan, the top 6 startups will travel to New York for a week filled with networking events, meetings with investors, and public presentations.

Applications are open on the official websites of Infobip Startup Tribe and EGC. The application deadline is April 19, and the selected startups will be announced on April 28.

I congratulate Infobip on the opening of its new office in Osijek. This sends an important message that Osijek is increasingly becoming a centre of knowledge, innovation, and new technologies – a city that offers young people opportunities for quality development and employment. It is especially encouraging that this is a global company that now has more than 40 employees in Osijek, having started its development in 2022 in the BIOS Business Incubator with just one employee. The city’s development is also visible in the numbers – since 2021, Osijek has gained 4,500 additional jobs, while unemployment has fallen by 40 percent. The City of Osijek will continue to be a strong partner to entrepreneurs and will keep investing in the development of the IT sector and business zones.”

Ivan Radić

EDIH Adria among the top of European digital innovation, Infobip a key partner in the project

The project in which Infobip is a partner has also been named the best EDIH project in Croatia

Skip to table of contents

Zagreb, 17 February 2026. – The EDIH Adria consortium (European Digital Innovation Hub Adria), of which the global cloud communications platform Infobip is a member, has recently successfully completed a three-year EU project aimed at strengthening the digital maturity of Croatian small and medium-sized enterprises and the public sector, with a strong focus on artificial intelligence. EDIH Adria ranked among the ten most successful EDIHs in the European Union and earned the title of the best in Croatia by number of services delivered.

EDIH Adria ranked first in Croatia and Europe for training programmes

Infobip participated in the project alongside the University of Rijeka as the project lead, Ericsson Nikola Tesla, the University of Pula, the StepRI education incubator, and the PORIN development agency.


The EDIH Adria project has shown that digital transformation can be concrete, measurable, and directly beneficial for entrepreneurs and the public sector. Through hands-on work, technology testing, and targeted training programmes, we enabled organizations to apply new digital tools, particularly those based on artificial intelligence, in real business and administrative processes. We are proud of the results achieved and the strong collaboration with our partners, which has positioned EDIH Adria as one of the most successful European initiatives of its kind.”

Damir Medved

Director of EDIH Adria

During the implementation of the project, Infobip organized four bootcamps for small and medium-sized enterprises and public institutions and carried out 23 Test Before Invest (TBI) projects, mostly focused on early prototypes of AI chatbots. These projects involved testing the application of digital technologies before their actual implementation and investment, with each participating organization supported by a dedicated project team, resulting in personalized prototype solutions and recommendations. In addition, Infobip delivered 11 training programmes attended by more than 380 participants in Vodnjan, Zagreb, and online. The training focused on practical, immediately applicable knowledge in areas such as generative artificial intelligence, employee onboarding, cybersecurity, and GDPR compliance.


EDIH Adria has demonstrated how structured collaboration, hands-on work, and a strong focus on artificial intelligence can accelerate real digital transformation. For Infobip, participation in the EDIH Adria project was a valuable experience and an opportunity to share our knowledge with the community. We thank the entire team, our partners, and all organizations involved in the project for their excellent collaboration, and we are proud that our joint work and the results achieved provide a strong foundation for the further development of digital innovation in the region and beyond.”

AI assistant for the spatial plans of the City of Križevci

The Test Before Invest (TBI) workshops proved particularly useful for the City of Križevci, which wanted to enable citizens to quickly and easily access information on building conditions and spatial plans. For this purpose, an AI assistant was developed that uses artificial intelligence to instantly deliver relevant information about building conditions for a specific parcel in response to a text query sent via WhatsApp. In addition to being available 24/7, it can be integrated with the existing Geographic Information System (GIS) for viewing spatial and municipal data, implemented as a live chat on the city’s website, and easily updated in the event of changes to the General Urban Development Plan.


Through the EDIH Adria project, we demonstrated that the digital transformation of public administration does not begin with technology but with responsible governance. The Test Before Invest concept allowed us to test the real value of solutions for citizens before making investment decisions. The AI assistant developed for the City of Križevci shows how artificial intelligence can simplify access to spatial and municipal information and make public administration faster, more accessible, and more transparent. I believe that a decision-making model based on testing, measurable outcomes, and partnerships with the technology sector, such as our collaboration with Infobip, can and should become a reference framework for the digital transformation of local and regional governments in Croatia.”

Infobip marks 20 years of business and anticipates the era of agentic artificial intelligence

 
On the occasion of its 20th anniversary, Infobip presents its vision for the future of communication between brands and users. This vision is shaped by teams of experts who develop globally recognized products and solutions for leading global brands and technology platforms

Skip to table of contents

Vodnjan, 11 February 2026. – Global cloud communications platform Infobip is marking 20 years of business this year, reaffirming its status as one of the leading IT companies in Croatia and the region, as well as a global leader actively shaping the future of cloud and AI communications. After two decades of continuous growth, adaptation, and transformation, the company is entering a new chapter defined by the most significant technological shift so far – artificial intelligence – while offering a glimpse into the future of communication and anticipating a fundamental change in the way brands will interact with consumers.

Two decades of innovation

Founded in 2006 as a small startup in Vodnjan, Infobip has grown into Croatia’s first unicorn and one of the largest technology hubs in the region. Today, it operates on six continents through more than 70 offices, employs over 3,500 experts, and develops globally recognized products and services for leading global brands and technology platforms, including WhatsApp, Microsoft, Oracle, Adobe, Meta, Viber, Deutsche Telekom, Virgin Atlantic, and Nissan. Infobip’s teams, led by engineers, work on a globally distributed platform that scales in every country, processes massive volumes of transactions with seamless reliability, and ensures that every message reaches the right place at the right time.

Over two decades of operations, Infobip has continuously followed and led changes in communication between brands and users – from mobile messaging to today’s AI-first solutions. As it enters a new era, Infobip is further accelerating its transformation into a company where the development of artificial intelligence is a strategic priority, and where technology and talent reinforce each other to drive innovation.


When we founded Infobip, our goal was never just to build technology. We moved forward driven by conviction, not certainty. Together with our people and our customers, we continuously evolved, started anew, and always kept moving forward. That is why we still say that we are only just beginning – because through constant adaptation we continue to grow and develop as leaders.”

Silvio Kutić

Chief Executive Officer of Infobip

The future is agent-to-agent communication

Infobip anticipates a fundamental shift in communication, with a gradual transition from the current application-to-person (A2P) model to an agent-to-user model, which is expected to evolve into fully autonomous agent-to-agent communication by 2030. Such a development will enable advanced personalization and autonomous interactions across multiple communication channels.


The way we communicate with brands is constantly evolving. In this new world of agentic artificial intelligence, brands must seize the opportunity to adopt a holistic approach to communication. It is essential to leverage the hyper-personalization enabled by agentic AI solutions and rich communication channels such as RCS and WhatsApp. At Infobip, we have teams that have already proven they can build and apply this technology in global environments.”

Silvio Kutić

Chief Executive Officer of Infobip

Challenge for brands

Infobip highlights that the market’s level of readiness is currently low – only around 5% of AI agent projects within organizations reach the production stage due to unstructured data and internal barriers.


Companies must act now. Organizational structures that enable data sharing will be crucial for the successful deployment of AI agents, and brands that fail to prepare risk losing their competitive advantage. It is precisely in this transition from concept to real-world implementation that Infobip has the experience, platform, and solutions to make it possible.”

The Asian edition of Infobip Shift is a key step in connecting the global developer community, which we have already had the honour of hosting at our conferences in Zadar and Miami, as well as through the developer magazine ShiftMag. It was not an easy decision to take this step, but thanks to our partner Cradle, we were able to launch the first edition and connect with the local startup and developer community. While the developer community primarily shares knowledge through digital channels, it is remarkable how meetups and conferences such as Shift can often become the crucial step toward new solutions, whether they are developed with the help of AI or without it.”

The conference focused on topics such as the future of software, user experience, key skills for developers, practical strategies for balancing the benefits and risks of AI, and how professionals can successfully navigate an industry increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence.

With the new edition of Infobip Shift in Kuala Lumpur, the conference once again confirms its status as a must-attend meeting point for developers who want to learn, connect, and create innovations that transform the industry.

Zagreb, 6 October 2025. – Last week, Zagreb became a hub of the European innovation scene. From 1 to 3 October, the Infobip Campus hosted Innovation Prototyping Labs 2025, a three-day event that brought together more than one hundred researchers and industry leaders from across Europe. The event was organised by the Industry Commons Foundation under the leadership of Michela Magaš, European Woman Innovator of the Year (2017). Michela Magaš, born in Zagreb and raised in Rijeka, is a globally recognised pioneer in the field of design and innovation and was recently honoured by the Embassy of the Republic of Croatia in Stockholm.

The aim of the gathering was the collaborative creation and testing of innovations that bring concrete changes to science, industry, and society. Participants developed new prototypes and discussed the interoperability of knowledge bases, the ethical challenges of artificial intelligence, and sustainable models for future research infrastructures. Research and technical teams from across Europe took part in the work, including the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS, France), Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche (CNR, Italy), the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN, Switzerland), OPERAS Research Infrastructure (Belgium), the Max Weber Stiftung (Germany), and others, creating a unique opportunity for high-level multidisciplinary collaboration.


The Innovation Prototyping Lab focuses on testing how artificial intelligence and knowledge graphs can be responsibly used to support discovery across different disciplines. By bringing researchers and industry together in one place, we are building practical examples of how European collaboration can deliver trusted tools for the future of science and innovation. Croatian engineering expertise has always been a source of inspiration to me, and I am proud to see it at the centre of European innovation.”

European Woman Innovator of the Year (2017)

The Labs are part of two strategic projects of the European Commission: LUMEN, focused on developing AI tools to support discovery across various disciplines, and GRAPHIA, which is developing the first large knowledge graph for the social sciences and humanities enriched with artificial intelligence.

The event was hosted by Infobip, a global technology company headquartered in Croatia with more than 75 offices worldwide, which presented its participation in the IPCEI-CIS consortium, a project aimed at building a next-generation global communications platform and strengthening Europe’s competitiveness in the technology sector. The company also presented results from AI research conducted within the IPCEI-CIS project, focused on building more secure communication channels and improving user experience. AI models for spam and fraud detection contribute to protecting users and companies from abuse, while conversational AI voice solutions such as Vocalize open new possibilities for user interaction and the advancement of digital services.


At Infobip, we are committed to developing AI-based solutions and fostering international collaboration that shape the future. This event confirmed that Croatia can play a key role in the European innovation agenda through active participation in important international partnerships and projects that set new standards in research and development. Infobip is one of the leading technology hubs in Croatia, primarily thanks to our outstanding experts, our employees, whose work and innovations significantly contribute to the development of new technologies and the shaping of global trends.”
