In cooperation with the Embassy of Sweden, on Tuesday, November 29, 2022, Swedish Day was held at the Faculty of Economics and Business - Zagreb.
The welcoming speeches held by the dean Dr. Sanja Sever Mališ and the ambassador H. E. Diane Helen Madunic were accompanied by a rich program with participation of seven Swedish companies - AstraZeneca, Bjelin, Ericsson Nikola Tesla, Foreo, IKEA, Securitas and SKF.
