Acquisition of new knowledge which will be necessary in the future, should be an imperative, knowledge which will ensure a more prosperous future and which implies openness to technology and innovations. Accelerated technological development means that knowledge sets required in the future will be different from the present ones, which in turn calls for lifelong learning as a prerequisite for future success. This is why we invite leading thinkers of today to join the T-HT's Conference to share their experience, knowledge and inspire us to think about how to apply their experience in our environment.”, said Mr. Ivica Mudrinić, President of the Management Board of HT, in light of the upcoming Conference.
