Vilnius

The startup ecosystem in Lithuania is thriving with a blend of tech-driven innovation and government support.

Fueled by a robust infrastructure including startup hubs, venture capital funds, and government initiatives, Vilnius is home to growing sectors like fintech, cybersecurity, and software development, and continues to establish itself as a prominent player in the European startup landscape.

As one of the fastest-growing startup ecosystems in Central and Eastern Europe, Lithuania ranks 6th among Central and Eastern European countries for Venture Capital investment, and 3rd for VC investment per capita in 2022.

Aušrinė Armonaitė, Minister of the Economy and Innovation

“The Lithuanian startup ecosystem is resilient, dynamic, and hungry for growth. During the last year, Lithuania claimed the title of the second-highest country in VC investments. Between 2018 and 2023, our ecosystem’s value skyrocketed by an incredible 7.1 times, surpassing even the Baltics and wider Central and Eastern Europe regions.

The success of our startup ecosystem lies underneath the immense talent pool, stable growth, international recognition, and collaborative mindset of our entrepreneurs, backed by the support of the government, organizations, and academia."
