The forthcoming visit is an integral part of the Lithuanian Government long-term investment policy, focusing on meetings with the leaders of US high-tech and IT companies and potential investors.
The Prime Minister points out that the current visit to the United States is primarily focused on attracting attention from IT companies and large investors. “The current visit is a continuation of successful working meetings. We have recently presented the concept of the Lithuanian economy and investment strategy in London and are planning to keep promoting Lithuanian business and investment opportunities in the major finance and business centres all over the world. It is high time, I strongly believe, for the investors to find Lithuania as a multi-skilled and multilingual country with one of the best IT infrastructures in Europe and the world”, the Prime Minister said.
