Croatian and international guests at the Building Bridges edition in New York
Building Bridges · Sponsorship

Put your name on the next bridge.

Building Bridges convenes senior Croatian and international leaders in medicine and science, embassy by embassy, city by city. Sponsoring an edition places your organization at the center of that exchange, with visibility recognized on both sides of it.

Who attends, and why it matters

Standing where two medical worlds actually meet.

Each edition gathers around 40 to 50 senior figures, more than 150 across the four cities so far: Croatian biomedical leaders from home and the diaspora, alongside the physicians, scientists and healthcare leaders of the host city. In Zurich that means Swiss institutions, and in London their UK counterparts. Every guest from every edition is invited onward to the Plexus Gala in Zagreb, where the whole network gathers in one room. A sponsor is recognized across all of it, and the recognition reaches both sides: visibility in Croatia and in the host city at the same time.

  • A room of decision-makers

    Department heads, principal investigators, founders and clinical leaders, the people who can actually start a collaboration, not just attend a panel about one.

  • Visibility that travels both ways

    Your name is seen by leading Croatian biomedical professionals at home and abroad, and by the host city's institutions, as a partner in a shared effort rather than a logo on a wall.

  • Real outcomes to point to

    Editions turn into trial sites, staff exchanges, co-supervised PhDs and signed memoranda. You support work that visibly happens, and that you can report on.

  • Carried onward to the Gala

    Everyone met across the cities is invited to the Plexus Gala in Zagreb. Partners stay visible to the whole network well beyond the single evening in one city.

Reception or venue

Host or fund the evening reception, or provide the venue, for one edition. Your hospitality becomes the setting where the network meets.
