Future Union Group Announces Strategic Expansion into Europe with New Regional Branch in Zagreb, Croatia
Future Union Group, a leading Qatari multinational conglomerate, today announced a major strategic expansion into the European market through the establishment of its first regional branch in Zagreb, Croatia. This landmark move reflects the company’s ambitious growth strategy beyond its well-established networks across Africa and the Middle East.
A high-level Qatari delegation, led by His Excellency Sheikh Abdulrahman bin Hamad Al-Thani, Chairman of the Board of Directors, arrived in the Croatian capital to initiate senior-level discussions with government officials and business leaders. The delegation also includes Dr. Abdelgalil Sharaf, Chief Executive Officer of Future Union Group, and Mr. Egri Gabor, Head of Sector and a prominent European businessman.
Objective of the Landmark Visit
The primary goals of the meetings in Zagreb are to:
· Explore specific projects aligned with Future Union’s core sectors.
· Discuss frameworks for mutual cooperation with Croatian authorities.
· Officially launch the operations of Future Union Croatia, the Group’s inaugural European branch.
This expansion leverages Croatia’s economic potential and its strategic position within the European Union. The country is actively enhancing its profile in key sectors of interest to Future Union, such as energy security and digital transformation.
Strategic Context: Croatia as a Gateway to Europe
Croatia stands as a strategic entry point for Future Union’s broader European ambitions. The country has developed substantial energy infrastructure—most notably the LNG terminal on Krk Island—positioning it as a promising regional energy hub. Additionally, the Croatian government is prioritizing digital transformation, with a national Artificial Intelligence development plan set for 2026–2028. These initiatives align strongly with the diversified portfolio of Future Union Group.

“Our entry into the Croatian and European market is a pivotal moment for Future Union. We see tremendous potential for partnerships that drive sustainable development and create long-term value. Croatia’s dynamic economy and strategic location make it the ideal gateway for our European vision.”
Dr. Abdelgalil Sharaf, CEO of Future Union Group, added:
“This is not merely opening an office; it is about building bridges. We are committed to transferring our expertise in major projects and fostering a collaborative environment. We are eager to identify projects where our resources and knowledge can contribute to Croatia’s growth trajectory.”
