How Croatia Built a Stronger Presence at Metstrade

Host Kristina Hebert records from the ICOMIA IFBSO Congress in Washington, D.C., with Niels Klarenbeek, President of IFBSO and Director of Metstrade and The Superyacht Forum, and Teo Petricevic, CEO of Capax and Founding Partner of Adria Docks, to discuss Croatia’s growing influence in the global marine industry. Together, they explore the momentum behind the Croatian National Pavilion at Metstrade and the continued success of Croatian Yachting Night as a platform for industry connection and visibility. The conversation examines why Metstrade’s country pavilion model helps marine businesses present a stronger collective presence while making it easier for buyers to discover trusted partners. Kristina and her guests also discuss how collaboration, long-term planning, and relationship-building are helping Croatia strengthen its position as a leading force in boating and yachting.Wards Marine Electrichttps://www.wardsmarine.com/Wards Way YouTube Channelhttps://www.youtube.com/@WardsWay75
