As part of the Balkan Track study program

More than 50 students from Harvard University visited Nelt’s headquarters in Dobanovci last Friday. As part of the Balkan Track study program, they traveled across the region to learn more about successful companies and the development of the Balkans.

The students were welcomed by Miloš Jelić, President of the Supervisory Board, followed by a presentation from Darko Lukić, CEO of Nelt Group, who introduced them to the company’s business model and growth journey.

“Balkan Track is focused on the future of the region, and Nelt is a great example of how a family-owned company can grow sustainably and stay in step with global trends. The students came eager to learn, but also ready to ask serious questions – and that exchange is what makes these encounters truly valuable. Our conversation was equally inspiring for both sides,” said Darko.

During the visit to our Baby Food Factory, Marina Bulut, CEO of BFF, spoke about the factory’s production processes and brand portfolio.

This is the second year in a row that Harvard has included Nelt in its study program. The previous visit, which involved a smaller group of students, was rated as one of the most valuable experiences of the trip.

Through its long-term commitment to education, Nelt Group continuously supports young people through various initiatives – from scholarships and student teams to partnerships with universities and institutions, including collaboration with UNICEF – all with the aim of developing the skills and knowledge needed for the 21st century.
