Geoeconomic forum, Association for the World Economic Development Studies was founded in 2004, after several years of contemplating the need of gathering experts in Croatia and South East Europe specializing in economic globalisation, international relations and security issues. The essential idea of their association is based on the concept of geoeconomics, or the strategic use of economy.


GEOFO is oriented neither for nor against globalisation. It monitors and analyses the world economic processes in Croatia and region, based on facts, expert knowledge and non-partisan approaches.
GEOFO acts on three levels:

      • Promotion of geoeconomics
      • Study of the depth, content and manner of the globalisation of Croatia
      • Establishment of Pax Oeconomica for South East Europe
