THE SUSTAINABLE CROATIAN INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT - AN APPROACH

Croatia has many natural resources and a combination of different potentials that are not being sufficiently used in an innovative fashion for conceiving, structuring, encouraging, and implementing of new and sustainable production and economy. These are notably: a very advantageous geo-strategy location and traffic infrastructure ; the high-quality spring water, rivers and the sea ; various, clean, and high-quality soils ; vast forested areas and high-quality timber ; a favourable climate, unpolluted air and winds ; a distinctive culture, traditional values and skills ; friendly, creative and adaptable people. This paper draws attention to possibilities of building an individual economic (industrial) and civilization identity based on the synergy of input parameters for sustainable technologies and products. It defines key areas for the possible manufacturing of parts, equipment and systems: in the use of energy from renewable resources ; in tourism, use of leisure time, and entertainment ; for the new agriculture and industrial bio-technology ; in development of ecologically, energetically, and culturally self-sustainable regions, settlements, and homesteads ; in processing, finishing and forming of wood and wood products, inorganic mineral raw materials and materials of higher added value ; information and communication technologies and industrial design in the function of the aforementioned sectors of production.
