After the completion of the works on the adaptation of the premises, the decoration and furnishing of the Innovation and coworking center Panora in Požega is nearing completion, and therefore the first tenants are expected soon.
As a reminder, the Innovation and Coworking Center will be located in the Podravska Banka building that the Požega-Slavonia County purchased in June 2022, and with the reconstruction, it will become the center of the development of the economic climate of the City of Požega and the county.
– We are satisfied because the works are coming to an end and this space will soon be at the service of entrepreneurs, as we announced. The opening awaits us immediately after the completion of the equipment, and I am already using the opportunity to invite all entrepreneurs to use the services that will be made available to them – said the prefect Antonija Jozić, during a tour of the center.
The newly renovated building contains office spaces, conference halls and auxiliary spaces necessary for the smooth performance of the activities of entrepreneurs, digital nomads and other users. From infrastructural solutions to advisory services, the coworking center concept will provide all the necessary resources in one place, given that the center will also be the headquarters of the county development agency Panora and other institutions that perform tasks of importance for the entire county.
It should be noted that the Požega-Slavonska County secured funds for co-financing from the Program of Support for the Economic Revitalization of Slavonia, Baranja and Srijem under the Ministry of Regional Development and European Union Funds in the total amount of 796,336.85 euros.
– I would like to thank the Ministry of Regional Development and Funds of the European Union, which, in accordance with the Program of the Government of the Republic of Croatia, launched this program aimed at stimulating the development of economic activities in the area of the five Slavonic counties. This is a great support for our original budget and I thank you for the support, both in projects like this aimed at strengthening the economy, and in all other projects we implement – concludes Jozić.
