For a second consecutive year, ZSEM and the ZSEM Business Academy hosted a program in collaboration with the Robins School of Business (University of Richmond), one of the best business schools in the United States.

During the one-week program, which took place from May 26 – June 1, the group of 20 students attended various lectures at ZSEM that were delivered by experts from different business fields.

The covered topics gave them a concrete overview of the Croatian labor market, Croatia’s economic situation and the impact of American companies on the Croatian economy.

The core part of the program, however, was the International Consultancy Project that students had to develop for selected Croatian companies. Through this, they had the chance to work with local businesses and start-ups and help them explore market opportunities, develop business plans, conduct feasibility studies, or explore other relevant issues.
