It’s not the place you would expect to see a large tech company. Vodnjan, on Croatia’s Istrian coast, has a sleepy and historic feel. The town dates back to the 9th century and even in its heyday more than a hundred years ago, its population never quite reached 10,000. It is the kind of quiet tourist place used to seeing its young people emigrate in search of work.
