The Croatian Financial Services Supervisory Agency (Hanfa), together with Croatia’s Ministry of Finance, has presented PutNaTržište (RoadToMarket), described as Croatia’s first educational simulation sandbox to help entrepreneurs prepare for capital market financing. The programme offers companies a confidential and free setting to test their readiness for options ranging from bond issuance to an initial public offering, and was formally established through the signing of a partnership agreement. PutNaTržište is designed to provide a diagnostic assessment of capital markets readiness, help firms view their business from an investor perspective, identify areas for improvement, understand differences between financing instruments, and become familiar with the regulatory framework and practical obligations of issuers. It runs through application, selection, and diagnostics stages, with future cycles expected to add simulations of listing processes and stock exchange issuer obligations; more than 35 partners from banking, investment, legal, audit and business associations are involved. The pilot phase is scheduled to begin in September 2026, with applications to be made available via Hanfa’s website.
