The specialized edition of the Financial Times ‘’fDi Magazine’’, which monitors and compares investment movements at the global level, recently listed the Top 10 best regions for attracting foreign investments.

Among 146 locations around the world, the Croatian region of Međimurje found its place on the fDi list ranking as the seventh region with less than 1,5 million inhabitants in the category of the strategy quality for attracting foreign investments.

The Međimurje County Prefect Matija Posavec attended the awarding ceremony and received the Financial Times Award in Cannes in France on the 13th of March 2018.

On this occasion, among other participants at the ceremony, the Prefect met with Vitali Klitschko, the former boxer and current Mayor of Kiev in Ukraine. They discussed cooperation in joining the two regions. Actually, Međimurje has for many years nurtured good business and economic relations with the region of Rivne Oblasti in Ukraine.

‘’Of course, as I was talking to one of the best athletes in history, I took the opportunity to talk about Croatian and Međimurje sports about which Klitschko knows quite a lot. On this occasion, Mayor Klitschko announced a possible visit to our region in order to convince himself firsthand in all the results and benefits that brought this important award to the Međimurje region’’.
