"Raise your hand if you think AI could become Lithuania's next competitive advantage" 🙋♂️
That was one of the questions posed during our latest community event, which brought together leaders from Lithuania's Tech and General Business Services ecosystems.
The response? Almost every hand in the room went up.
Not necessarily because Lithuania will build the biggest artificial intelligence models or data centres. But because it has the potential to become one of the fastest countries to adopt and reorganise around this new technology.
How so? We have short feedback loops between industry and academia, business-forward regulations, and what one of the event speakers, Vinted’s CEO, Thomas Plantenga, highlighted as perhaps the most important ingredient - humble, pragmatic people who are willing and eager to work hard 💪
Much work for educators, policymakers, and business leaders still lies ahead, but we are certainly not starting from scratch. 89% of Lithuania’s GBS centres provide AI-related training to employees, and 41% plan to introduce additional AI capabilities in the near future, as shown in our latest sector overview 👉 https://investlithuania.com/gbs-and-ict-sector-overview-2026/
