Together we will build a more sustainable economy and society
Sustainability Forum aims to bring together industry leaders, policymakers, entrepreneurs and innovation representatives to discuss what challenges businesses and the ecosystem are facing today in particular, what sustainable innovations are trending, what are the most demanding innovations and where is the spotlight of investors today.
It is a one-day conference exploring and introducing new ideas, achievements and questions in sustainable innovations, followed by Sustainable Innovation program startup pitches . It is a medium for ideas exchange, open debates and great networking.
We believe that by sharing and bringing the content, success stories and great ideas we can reach more and inspire the whole ecosystem in Lithuania and the Baltics.
