MBF is not intended as a classic conference or as another business event in a series.
From October 8th to 11th, 2026, the third edition of the Master Business Forum, better known as MBF, will be held in Rovinj, an event that has emerged in recent years as one of the most relevant business platforms in the Adriatic region.
Its greatest value lies in the concept that brings together key decision-makers from the private, public and academic sectors in one place, with the aim of connecting people, ideas, capital and concrete business opportunities. In a time when significant projects are increasingly being developed at the intersection of different industries, investment interests and public policies, MBF responds to the need for stronger cross-sectoral connections. Year after year, the forum attracts business community leaders, investors, institutional representatives, experts and companies that see room for growth, development and long-term partnerships in the Adria region.
The special feature of MBF is that it puts emphasis not only on encounters, but on what can result from those encounters. The goal is to create an environment in which contacts develop into concrete projects, collaborations, investments and business agreements. This is exactly the approach that distinguishes MBF from standard networking formats.
“We developed MBF as a platform that responds to the real needs of the business community – the need for relevant contacts and concrete opportunities for cooperation. Our goal is not just to bring together leaders, but to create a space where meetings turn into projects, and conversations into collaborations and investments. It is precisely this ability to holistically connect the economy through key people from all sectors, with ideas and capital, that makes MBF an important event for all those who actively shape the economic development of the region,” said Maja Borovina Frankić, founder and director of MBF.
This year’s edition will further emphasize the regional and international character of the event. Representatives of companies, investors and institutions that recognize the Adria region as a unique and promising market for business development will arrive in Rovinj. For representatives of various sectors, from energy, finance, tourism, construction and technology to trade, manufacturing and other industries, MBF 2026 represents an opportunity to position themselves on the regional and international business scene, establish strategic contacts and access new business opportunities.
