Friends of the team.

Parents, neighbours, and local businesses who chipped in through the Ivan Vučetić package. Without them we wouldn't have made it to the first training camp.

Members of the Team Croatia 2026 delegation

Two clubs, one team.

Team Croatia 2026 brings together students and mentors from Informatički klub NET in Ivanić-Grad and Centar Pozitron in Pazin. In October 2026 we represent Croatia at the FIRST Global Challenge in Incheon.

The team formed after FG Croatia 2026, the first international robotics competition of this scale held in Croatia. Nine teams from six countries competed over two days in Ivanić-Grad.

This year's theme is fighting wildfires with automation. For Istria and Dalmatia, that's not a hypothetical.

€61,690 to Incheon.

That's what it costs to send the team to the world championship. Below is the full budget, line by line, with nothing rounded off.

Dry fuel shows up from space.

The same class of lightning strike hit Orebić and Korčula. Orebić lost 0.3 hectares, Korčula lost 900. The difference wasn't the spark, it was what was lying on the ground.

Every five days, Pyros uses Sentinel-2 satellite imagery to calculate how much moisture vegetation has lost. The map is live.

Why us.

A problem Croatia actually has

This year's challenge is wildfire prevention. For Istria and Dalmatia, that's not an abstract topic, it's every summer. Your name stands next to work on that problem, not next to another sponsored jersey.

A world stage, not a local one

The FIRST Global Challenge brings together teams from more than 190 countries. Broadcasts and photos from the arena in Incheon carry your logo further than a regional campaign.

We know where every euro goes

Our budget is public and published in full. See how much has been raised and who covered what before you decide.

An investment in people who stay in the field

Our members are already coding, building, and welding. Sponsorship pays for access to equipment their school doesn't have, and gives you a connection to the generation that'll be looking for its first engineering job in a few years.

University places and scholarships

A result at the world championship opens doors to technical universities and scholarships. Supporting the team supports real admissions, not just one trip.

We're €33,544 short.

The largest open item is flights. If your company can cover part of it, get in touch and we'll agree on visibility that fits.
