Harvard University Students Visit Nelt and Baby Food Factory

In mid-May, more than 50 students from Harvard University visited Nelt’s headquarters in Dobanovci. As part of their “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, Chairman of the Supervisory Board, after which they were introduced to the business and growth of the Nelt Group through a presentation by Darko Lukić, CEO of Nelt Group.

“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 while staying in step with global trends. The students came eager to learn, but also to ask serious questions—and it’s exactly that kind of exchange that makes these encounters so valuable. The conversation with them was equally inspiring for both sides,” said Darko.

During a tour of 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. Last year’s visit, which involved a smaller group of students, was ranked as one of the most valuable experiences of the trip.

Through its long-term commitment to education, the Nelt Group continues to support young people through a variety of programs—ranging from scholarships and student teams to partnerships with universities and institutions, including a collaboration with UNICEF—aimed at developing the skills and knowledge needed for the 21st century.
