Innovation centres of that kind will help boost Croatia's competitiveness and improve the country's business and investment climate, according to conclusions made by the cabinet of Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic earlier this week.
The draft memorandum of understanding has been prepared and Economy Minister Martina Dalic has been authorised to sign the document.
The point of the memorandum is to create a platform for our talks and the memorandum does not create any obligations for any of the two sides. The goal of the task forces to be set up within the memorandum is to identify possible areas for cooperation, Dalic was quoted as saying.
In its response to Hina's query, IMB said on Friday that it would examine, together with the Croatian government, possibilities for the establishment of an innovation centre for cognitive computing analytics.
IBM says on its web site that it is the largest technology and consulting employer in the world, serving clients in 170 countries. "In this new era of Cognitive Business, IBM is helping to reshape industries by bringing together our expertise in Cloud, Analytics, Security, Mobile, and the Internet of Things."
Croatia's government and IBM are already cooperating in the project of IBM's Client Innovation Centre.
