Deploy Robots in Croatia — Rimac EV Technology, Tourism & EU Recovery Automation
Croatia is home to Rimac — the world's fastest electric vehicle manufacturer — and one of Europe's fastest-growing tourism sectors. We provide robot leasing, integration, and training — with EU NOP recovery funds — across Zagreb, Split, Rijeka, and the Adriatic coast.
Robotics in Croatia
Key industries driving robotics adoption
Electric Vehicle Technology
Rimac Group (Sveta Nedelja, Zagreb) produces the Rimac Nevera — the world's fastest production EV. Bugatti-Rimac and Porsche investment drive a high-tech EV component ecosystem. Battery assembly, precision manufacturing, and quality inspection robots support Croatia's most valuable tech company.
Tourism & Hospitality Automation
Croatia welcomed 20M+ tourists in 2025 — one of Europe's fastest-growing destinations. Hotel service robots, airport automation, and smart hospitality management systems serve Dubrovnik, Split, Hvar, and Zagreb — addressing seasonal labor shortages across 1,200+ km of Adriatic coastline.
Shipbuilding & Maritime
Brodosplit and the legacy of Uljanik represent Croatia's proud shipbuilding tradition. Robotic welding, hull inspection drones, and automated fitting systems modernize Croatian shipyards — producing specialized vessels, mega-yachts, and offshore structures for global clients.
Food & Beverage Processing
Podravka (Vegeta seasoning), Vindija dairy, and Kras confectionery are major Central European food brands. Robotic packaging, quality sorting, and automated warehouse systems serve Croatia's food processing sector — which exports across the EU and Western Balkans.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about robotics services in Croatia
How do I access NOP EU recovery funding for robotics projects?
NOP funds are distributed through competitive calls under the digital transition and green economy pillars. Eligible projects include manufacturing automation, Industry 4.0 equipment, and robotics integration. Co-funding rates are typically 40–70% depending on company size and region. We help Croatian companies structure applications.
What CE compliance is required for robots in Croatia?
All robots must comply with the EU Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, EN ISO 10218, and EN ISO/TS 15066 for collaborative applications. HRN (Croatian Standards) are harmonized with European Norms. We handle full CE documentation, risk assessment, and declaration of conformity.
Do you provide support in Croatian and English?
Yes. Our team provides full documentation, training, and technical support in Croatian and English. All interfaces, safety signage, and operational manuals are localized for Croatian operators.
How can we collaborate with the Rimac technology ecosystem?
Rimac Group and Rimac Technology are building a high-tech EV ecosystem at the Rimac Campus (Sveta Nedelja). Supplier opportunities exist in precision manufacturing, quality inspection, and battery automation. We help companies identify collaboration opportunities and meet Rimac's technical requirements.
What tourism robot applications work for Croatia's Adriatic destinations?
Croatian tourism robots include hotel concierge and delivery robots, airport baggage handling, beach and pool cleaning robots, and smart restaurant service systems. Our seasonal leasing model matches Croatia's April–October peak — scale up for summer and return units off-season.
