About

What are CORE Days?

Welcome to CORE Days 2024, an exclusive gathering of top decision-makers, industry leaders, and visionaries shaping the future of the Western Balkans. Held in Belgrade, this  event, with support of the Swedish Government, implemented through SIDA, focuses on advancing the region’s Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) agenda under the theme, “Towards Net Zero Future!”.

After two successful  previously organized CORE Days conferences, this year’s event promises an even deeper exploration of ESG challenges and opportunities that define the path to sustainable development. With unparalleled networking opportunities and high-level speakers, CORE Days 2024 offers a rare platform for collaboration and innovation.

Join us for this invitation-only event in Belgrade and be part of the conversations that will define the future of our region.
