The Croatian higher education sector includes large, established institutions, many of which are faculties of the University of Zagreb. These organizations focus on a broad range of academic disciplines, from engineering and computer science to medicine, humanities, and social sciences, often with an emphasis on research and international collaboration.
Notable examples include FER, specializing in electrical engineering and ICT, and Medicinski fakultet Sveučilišta u Zagrebu, a leading institution for medical training. Sveučilište Algebra Bernays offers professional studies, while Hrvatska studentska asocijacija (HSA) provides opportunities for student development. The University of Zagreb, Faculty of Science, conducts research in natural sciences, and the Faculty of Economics & Business Zagreb focuses on entrepreneurial education. A clear pattern is the concentration of these institutions in Zagreb, highlighting its role as a central hub for higher education in Croatia.

Tamtam finds the decision-makers at every company on a list like this one, with verified emails, phone numbers and the buying signals that tell you when to reach out.
How this list is built
Every company on this list has a Tamtam company profile. The industry is the one the company gives on LinkedIn; categories such as SaaS or fintech are classified by Tamtam's AI from the company's website and LinkedIn page; and the headquarters city must match the company's own address. Companies are ranked by the number of employees on LinkedIn, and the list is refreshed every night. Classifications can be wrong, so treat the list as a starting point rather than an official ranking. Last updated Nov 12, 2026.
