What Message Does Lithuania Send to the World? | SAUGUMO KODAS 2026

With a soaring defense spending in Europe and globally, defense is becoming a very active industry for manufacturing and investment in Lithuania. With the new products, technologies and companies emerging and growing their sales internationally, capital is needed for this sector and good investment opportunities arise for investors.

At the Lrytas Saugumo kodas (“Security Code”) conference, Dovilė Burgienė, Managing Partner of WALLESS Lithuania, joined Edvinas Grikšas, Minister of the Economy and Innovation, Agnia Grigas, analyst at the Atlantic Council, and Elijus Čivilis, Head of Invest Lithuania, in a discussion moderated by Živilė Vaškytė-Lubienė.

One of the questions was how Lithuania is seen by international investors. Drawing on her M&A experience, Dovilė pointed out that buyers look well beyond geography. They assess the business itself: the product, innovation, export markets and ability to compete globally. Her point was simple: “When a good business is for sale, investors look first at the business itself, not the map”.
