New York felt a little more Lithuanian these past days! 🏙️

Our artists stepped into Performa Biennial 2025 with courage, imagination and ideas that cut straight to the heart of today’s world. 💫

Their voices, ideas and bold experiments resonated across the city, from intimate taxi rides and wandering wooden structures to a large-scale children’s choir filling Manhattan with sound.

Another Big Step Forward for Lithuania! 🤖

Lithuania is proving once again that we are not just keeping up with the future - we are shaping it. The Ministry of the Economy and Innovation has officially allocated funding for the creation of a national Artificial Intelligence (AI) regulatory sandbox. ✨

This €3 million initiative will help Lithuanian companies safely test and develop AI solutions, speed up their path to market, and ensure compliance with the EU’s AI Act. It is a smart investment that gives our businesses real tools, real support, and real opportunities to grow.

🇪🇺 Strengthening Europe’s Security Together 🇱🇹🤝🇩🇪

Construction has officially begun on a joint Rheinmetall–Lithuania artillery shell factory in the Radviliškis District, marking a major step in reinforcing NATO’s eastern flank.

The €300M facility will produce 155 mm artillery shells, create 150+ skilled jobs, and stand among Europe’s most advanced defence plants.

Developed with Lithuanian state partners Epso-G Invest and Giraitė Ammunition Factory, the project reflects trust, innovation, and long-term strategic cooperation between Lithuania and Germany.

A powerful example of how European collaboration strengthens our shared security.

All Saints’ Day and Vėlinės in Lithuania 🕯️
On 1 November, Lithuanians observe Visų Šventųjų diena — All Saints’ Day, followed by Vėlinės on 2 November, the Day of All Souls. These two days hold a special place in the Lithuanian year, devoted to remembrance and gratitude for those who have passed. Families visit cemeteries, lighting candles and laying flowers upon graves. As night falls, the country shimmers with a quiet sea of light — a symbol of the soul’s eternity and the enduring bond between generations.

This atmosphere of solemn beauty is reflected in Mikalojus Konstantinas Čiurlionis’ Funeral Symphony. VI (1903). The painting’s flowing forms echo the Lithuanian soul’s sense of connection between the earthly and the cosmic, between memory and infinity.

For the second year in a row, Lithuania is among the top 5️⃣ countries in the world in the 2025 International Tax Competitiveness Index by the Tax Foundation.

With a 17% corporate tax rate, investment friendly rules, and a simple, transparent income tax system, we continue to stand out as one of the most business-friendly environments in the world.

Just two years ago, Lithuania ranked 9th - today, we have proven our ability to stay strong among global leaders. A true testament to smart policy and lasting progress. 💪

The Baltic region continues to excel, with all three countries earning a place among the world’s top five most competitive tax systems. 🌍
