Energy Solutions & the Environment Energy Solutions & the Environment Greeting by H.E. Dalia Grybauskaitė, President of the Republic of Lithuania
Lithuania understands that investing into innovation is key not only to our country but also to Europe because it promotes competitiveness, accelerates economic growth and creates jobs for enterprising people.
We are firmly on the path of innovation in pursuit of new and innovative business models. We encourage and support cooperation between enterprises, closer partnership between business and science, transfer of research results to commercialization. EU funds are also allocated to boost business interest in innovation.
The recent rapid development of information and communication technologies, biotechnologies, clean technologies, mechatronics and lasers is essential to promoting Lithuania’s economic growth and increasing its competitiveness in a global perspective. New clusters emerging in these sectors are the result of smart interaction based on international business expertise which enhances the capacity of small and medium-sized enterprises to integrate into international markets and offers new opportunities for exports.
Lithuania is making decisive and consistent efforts to develop as an innovative nation, to be visible on the world map of business and science, and to be open to future developments. content clusterization ADDECO DiGi Promo | Strong Support Inspired Action 42 Bio Power Plant Development Cluster 10 Elgama Sistemos | Developers of Hardware and Baltic Automotive Component Cluster 12 Software Energy Management Solutions 44 Birzai Tourism Cluster 14 Enhand | Contactless Payment Technology Dental Innovation Cluster 16 Innovators 46 iVita Wellness Cluster 18 Equinox Europe | Logistics Process Innovators and Optimizers 48 Association of Lithuanian Printing Industries LISPA Cluster initiative 20 Jumsoft | Powerful Finance Apps for Macs 49 LITEK Horas MPM | Production Planning Using Math- Laser and Engineering Technology Cluster 22 ematics and Algorithms 50 Northwest Lithuanian Children’s Rehabilitation iSign | e-Signing 51 Cluster 24 ImpressPages | A Simple Solution for Web De- Photovoltaic Technology Cluster 26 velopers and Content Managers 52 Vilnius Film Cluster 27 JobRely | A New Way to Employ Professionals 54 Place I Live | Providing Deeper Insights IT & COMMUNICATIONS Into Neighbourhoods 55 2KN Ltd | Helping People to Connect 29 Lemon Labs | Mobile Apps Development AMS Labs | Innovative Teaching Assistance for Leaders 56 the Intelligent World 30 MIT-SOFT | Pioneers in Electronic Documents App Camp | Leaders in Mobile Development and Regulation and Technology 58 Publishing 32 NRD CS | Cyber Defence Specialists 60 Astera | Estimate Calculation Software for Com- Nordcurrent | Nordcurrent’s Games are Payed mercial Industries 34 and Enjoyed by Millions of People Around the Dragdis | Simplifying the Drag and Drop 35 World 62 BAS | Banking Software Development PALAMI | Transforming Windows Into Experts 36 Hd Video Displays 64 BITSENS | It Innovators Who are Keeping Pace Sviesa | Paperless Publishers in the With Innovation 38 Information Age 65 CGTrader | The 3D Model Marketplace Where Socialus Marketingas | Helping Brands to You Can Touch Your Ideas 40 Interact With Customers 66 NFQ eXtremes | Large-scale E-business Platform 68 Videography | Video Communication from Shimai Sushi & Wine | Sisters Create Sushi Concept to Implementation 69 With Love 104 Taskenger - Field Service and Mobile Workforce Snailette | To Live Means to Enjoy 105 Management Software 70 MULATE | 1st Organic Chocolates Made in Trumpam.lt | Short Term Accommodations 72 the Baltics 106 clusterization Vaakademija.lt | Virtual Services for Your Office 74 MECHATRONICS VTeX | Publishing Solutions for the Alytaus ARA | Ferrous Steel Processing Scientific Community 76 Professionals 108 WoraPay | Mobile Payment Systems Aurika | Where Philosophy Meets Solutions 78 Technology 110 Versliukai.lt | An Electronic Platform for Danica LT | Functional and Durable Furniture Services and Products 80 for the Scandinavian Market 112 Kelprojektas | Engineering Transport HEALTHCARE & BIOTECH Infrastructure Solutions for the Environment 114 Bioseka | An Antisense Antimicrobials Klovainiu skalda | Innovative Crushed Stone Biotechnology Company 82 Producers 115 Jadvygos Zoles | Organic Herbal Teas for KOPA | Innovative Approach to Printing Superior Health 84 Press Services 116 Burbuliukas & Co | Helping Create a Healthy Dovaina | Manufacturers of Industrial Bakery Lifestyle with Water 85 and Confectionary Equipment 118 Crooked Nose & Coffee Stories | Coffee Artisans Mantinga | Frozen Bread and in the Heart of Vilnius 86 Pastry Specialists 119 Keksiuku pasaulis | An Artisanal and Creative Lonas | Masters of Comfort 120 Approach to a Very Sweet World 88 Progresas | Metal Processing Specialists 122 Italisko Skonio Gurmanai | World Class Gourmet Toma | Steel Fabrication and 9 Food Products 90 Assembly Specialists 124 MobilusKubilas | Mobile Hot Tub Services on Urbanistika | Urban Design and Spatial Wheels 91 Planning Leaders 126 Lempampuk | Exceptional Gifts for Vilkas Avia | Pilot Training and Aerial Exceptional People 92 Photography Specialists 128 MERAKI | Life’s too Short to Wear Grey 93 Odontika | Precision Guided Dentistry Leaders 94 LASERS Esemda | Electronic Manufacturing Services 130 Omnitekso Prekyba | Creators of Brand Clothing Collections for Every Occasion 96 Luvitera | Terahertz Imaging & Spectroscopy Leaders 132 SamogitiART | Live Through Art, in Art, and from Art 98 Sprana | Applying Sprectroscopy in the Industrial Process 133 Skandiamo | Scandinavian Designed Furniture 100 Pilnu Namu Bendruomene | That My House May be Filled 102 clusterization Bio Power Plant Development Cluster
