Lithuania

Open to innovations, advanced digital solutions and with the recognition of hundreds of international companies – such is Lithuania today. For some time now, Lithuania can be called the centre of excellence of the region, where a wide range of global technology companies working in the fields of software engineering, game development, artificial intelligence-based solutions, financial technology product development or compliance and anti-money laundering are choosing to develop their business. The competence-rich sector can also be boldly presented as an innovation hub. Lithuania has one of the fastest growing startup ecosystems in the region – the number of start-ups has almost doubled in the last decade and currently stands at 1000. More than 200 fintech companies are actively operating in the country. In terms of the number of licensed companies, Lithuania is the second largest fintech centre in Europe.
