The event was dynamically structured, with a special focus on the latest trends and projects in the field of sustainable business. In the first part, experts Svetlana Damnjanović and Milica Mišković delivered inspiring presentations, highlighting new regulations, standards, and opportunities brought by the implementation of sustainable development goals.

Additionally, guests from UniCredit Bank and the European Investment Bank (EIB) shared information about their credit lines aimed at small and medium-sized enterprises, with a special focus on the credit line that promotes greater workplace inclusion.
