Croatia

Croatia scores 5.81, defined by a perfect 10/10 on Public Sector Health and modest scores elsewhere. Private-sector hosting is decent (.hr raw 0.52). Developer density is low (1.82).

Strengths

Perfect Public Sector Health — Zagreb, head of state, and government all EU-hosted (10.0 / 10.0).
Strong sovereign browser share — 17.19% Firefox + Opera, top tier.
Solid private-sector hosting — .hr raw rating 0.52, above the EU27 median.

Weaknesses

Low developer density — 2.27 per-capita index, bottom half of the EU27.
Linux desktop share of 3.78% — at the EU27 mean; no grassroots distinction.

Outlook

Croatia's public-sector hosting discipline is exemplary. The constraints are economic: a smaller workforce, fewer developers per capita, less domestic cloud capacity. Growth will track broader EU programs more than national policy.

Historical context

2020 baseline

In 2020, Croatia was a "laggard," with underdeveloped frameworks for both strategic autonomy and open source policy and a very narrow focus on cybersecurity.

2024 progression

The use of OSS has increased in specific areas like open data portals. The "Digital Croatia Strategy until 2032" sets the digitalization of public administration as a priority and includes the creation of an open source platform.
