In November 2019, a conference "Industry 4.0 - Opportunity and / or Challenge" was held in Varaždin as part of the Entrepreneurship Promotion project of which the Croatian Employers Association (HUP) is a partner. The conference brought together more than 150 speakers - employers and institutions of the four counties and, for the first time, innovative companies in the northern counties of Croatia - OMCO Croatia Ltd., Ducati Components doo and Kostwein - machinery manufacturing d.o.o. presented their own successful examples in their journey of digital transformation. All conference participants agreed on one thing - there is no successful digital transformation without liberalization of the currently too rigid Labor Law.
