In conditions of increasing competition and open market, visibility and networking become as important as the product or service itself. For many entrepreneurs, especially micro, small and medium-sized entrepreneurs, the challenge is not only the quality of the offer, but also the arrival of potential partners, investors and larger systems. It is in this context that it is important to monitor the tools that can open up additional business opportunities.
One such tool is Supplier base developed by Ministry of Economy Republic of Croatia.
What is the supplier base?
