We believe that local presence and dialogue with Croatian entrepreneurs are crucial for a better understanding of the market and operations.
Recently, Saab AB, a global company that considers innovation part of its DNA, joined the membership of Lider’s Exporters Club.

– With a broad portfolio of innovative and cost-effective defense solutions in the air, land, and naval domains, we strengthen combat readiness. From complete platforms such as Gripen, Erieye AEW&C, or A26, our latest submarines, to systems like Carl-Gustaf, RBS 70, and our extensive family of radars or components such as Barracuda camouflage, we enhance our clients’ capabilities. Additionally, Saab is a pioneer in system integration approaches in close collaboration with partners. We invest about 25 percent of sales in research and development, thereby strengthening our competitiveness. We strive to reduce costs and improve efficiency at all levels, says Sanja Hrvojević Beganović, Saab’s representative for Croatia and Sales and Marketing Director for Central and Southeastern Europe.
Local Presence
Saab’s ability to create profitable industrial cooperation for its customers and partners is one of the main elements of its competitive offering. Strong ties between the two countries are formed through close partnerships with an industrially strong and innovative country like Sweden, and this will last for decades to come. Saab and Sweden have strong references in building competencies, trade, increasing exports, and leveraging the advantages of each side for mutual benefit.
