The next big opportunity could start with one conversation – join the leaders moving Lithuania forward!

What will drive Lithuania’s next chapter of growth – and how can international business help shape it? Under the theme “THIS IS LITHUANIA FORWARD.”, this year’s summit brings together business and government leaders to explore how global capital, local ambition, and strong partnerships can advance Lithuania’s competitiveness and turn opportunity into lasting progress.

The American Chamber of Commerce in Lithuania, the largest foreign chamber in the Baltics, presents the

Foreign Investors Annual Summit 2026, returning for its fifth edition on October 21 in Vilnius, Lithuania.

Join this highly successful event, which attracts over 700 participants every year – including business leaders, decision-makers, investors, and experts.

The summit offers direct access to meaningful dialogue between investors and Lithuanian authorities, creating space to discuss business priorities, address challenges, and identify opportunities for growth.

Through engaging panel discussions, inspiring keynote presentations, and interactive fireside chats, attendees will explore Lithuania’s potential on the global stage – and the changes needed for the country to become a model for others to follow.

Connect with C-level executives, gain valuable insights into industry trends, and build relationships that extend beyond the event.
