Matt Sertic's Applied Ceramics and Sunceco​ rejuvenating his hometown of Sisak in Croatia

Ten years ago, Matt recognized the potential of the once enormous but almost forgotten Ironworks factory complex in which he invested substantial funds to create a production facility for Applied Ceramics putting Croatia on the map as the only country in the European Union that produces sapphire crystals used in high technology. He also created other facilities to benefit the local community: Kul In, an international culinary academy, PISAK, a regional Entrepreneurial Incubator, an Academy of foreign languages, and most recently a Sunceco production line for solar technology products. Through all these ventures he has successfully employed hundreds of local residents of a rural part of Croatia.
