To an outsider, Lithuania may seem like just a small dot on the map. But to those who call it home, it is a land shaped by centuries of resilience, innovation, and deep cultural roots. Once the heart of the largest medieval European state, today it’s a dynamic country leading in tech, sustainability, and digital innovation.

At its core is Vilnius, the vibrant capital, where history and modernity blend seamlessly. Its UNESCO-listed Old Town – with winding cobblestone streets, centuries-old churches, and stunning examples of Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque architecture – is a testament to its rich past, making the spirit of the past alive. Throughout history, Vilnius has inspired countless great minds, from conquerors to writers, poets, and intellectuals, who admired its beauty and spirit. Today, its timeless beauty continues to captivate, drawing attention from all corners of the world. With a flourishing fintech industry, artistic spirit, and green initiatives, the city proves it’s always looking ahead. 

Once admired by Napoleon, Romain Gary, and Czesław Miłosz – among many others – Vilnius now welcomes you! Let Vilnius take you on a journey – not just through its streets, but into the heart of the MKR2026 conference!
