Last year, tickets were oversubscribed due to the limited seating capacity of the Emerald Ballroom, so we strongly encourage early registration. ⏳

This event would not be possible without the continued support of our expert jury members, sponsors, partners and the wider private capital ecosystem. We are especially grateful to everyone who has supported BestInvest over several years.

BestInvest also reflects the strength of the Croatian private capital community gathered around CVCA, which today counts 36 members, including 27 regular members – fund managers of private equity, venture capital and other alternative investment funds – jointly managing more than EUR 4.5 billion in assets under management.

We look forward to welcoming you in Zagreb! 🇭🇷✨

📅 16 April 2026
📍 Hotel Esplanade, Emerald Ballroom, Zagreb

This is an international event, attracting guests from abroad as well, and the programme will be held in English.

Last year, tickets were sold out — with more than 180 tickets sold for a gala dinner event with 160 seated capacity — so it would be wise to secure your tickets early.
