Last week, October 28, the exhibition “From Rijeka to the World – The First 35” opened on Rijeka’s Korzo, marking 35 years of our member JGL. From modest beginnings at Pulac in 1991 to the modern Pharma Valley complex and products present in more than 60 markets, JGL shows how knowledge and long-term vision from Kvarner can reach far.

As part of the anniversary, a round table “Rijeka that connects: When cooperation builds a city” was held, with the participation of Assist. Prof. Vladimir Mozetič, MD, PhD, President of the Kvarner Health Tourism Cluster.

He emphasised that Kvarner needs to connect healthcare, science, technology and the economy into one recognisable whole. JGL is one of the few local examples where knowledge, product development and international markets already come together within the same company.

He also announced the new product brand “Kvarner diše” (Kvarner Breathes), created through cooperation between JGL and the Kvarner Tourist Board. The brand highlights what Kvarner offers: clean air and natural conditions for good health.

JGL has been a member of the Cluster since 2016. Representatives of the Cluster and JGL will soon also be among the members of the new thematic innovation council for personalised healthcare.

Congratulations to JGL on 35 years of growth! We look forward to more joint projects that build Kvarner as a region of health.
