The President of the Republic Zoran Milanović received today the co-founders of the 2026 Money Motion conference, which will be held for the fourth time 11-12 March in Zagreb under the auspices of the President of the Republic.
It is the largest FinTech event in Central and Eastern Europe, bringing together key stakeholders from the world of finance, regulation, technology and entrepreneurship. The co-founders of the Money Motion conference, Robert Penezić, Nikola Škorić, Luka Sučić and Damir Čaušević, announced the arrival of around 3,000 participants at this year’s conference, events on five parallel stages where news in the field of FinTech will be presented, and a start-up competition. The programme will also feature for the first time “Day 0”, a day aimed at improving the financial literacy of citizens. It will be open to the public, entirely free of charge, and will be held on 10 March, said the representatives of the Conference’s organizing team.
Speaking about the experiences of the third edition of the Money Motion conference held in 2025, the representatives noted that it brought together more than 2,500 participants from 25 countries, hosted 120 speakers and 40 exhibitors, and served as a platform for launching new banking products and advanced financial solutions. At the meeting, they discussed the situation in the FinTech market, underlining that Croatia is well positioned in this sector today as it has a large number of experts and start-ups that deal with this activity. Our goal, as they said, is for Zagreb to become of the European centres of FinTech, and that leading experts are discussing this topic here.
Attending the meeting alongside President Milanović was the Special Adviser to the President for the Economy Velibor Mačkić.
