Croatian defence Cluster and ORQA taking opportunities during SAHA International Defence exhibition in Istanbul, Turkiye CDICC. Based on the kind invitation and organization support of the SAHA Istanbul Defence and Aerospace Cluster Association, representatives and Board Members of CDICC Mr Goran Basarac and Mr Ivan Jelušić visited the SAHA International defence exhibition. Numerous positive contacts and opportunities in collaboration with representatives of the Turkish defence industry were achieved. A special moment was surely the introduction and a short discussion with Mr Selcuk Baryaktar, the CEO of BAYKAR Industries and President of SAHA Istanbul Defence and Aerospace Cluster Association.

Ideas of jointly using the potential of EU Funding in numerous horizontal issues emerged as important topics and presented the potential of signing a Memorandum of understanding between 2 industrial associations.

CDICC especially thanks the efforts and professionalism of Mrs. Ivana Zerec, Consul General of the Republic of Croatia in the Republic of Turkiye, that helped in numerous contacts, activities, and a good atmosphere. We hope that the future will bring even closer cooperation of 2 countries in more concrete business deals and arrangements.
