The vision of the European Union is that Europe will be at the forefront of innovation in manufacturing. With this mission, HUBs across Europe were established to bring together all stakeholders working in manufacturing and support them through education, interconnection and innovation projects. In 2020, the University of Zagreb became the EIT Manufacturing Hub for Croatia, and since 2021 the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Naval Architecture has partnered with the University in the implementation of the EIT Manufacturing project.
