Trade promotion services and experts in Lithuania

Our services 

The services of our missions abroad are available to your company. We provide up-to-date market information, facilitate establishing contacts and help in market access issues. 

The services provided by the missions are part of the Ministry for Foreign Affairs’ business services. The Ministry for Foreign Affairs is a member of Team Finland, a network of public sector actors providing internationalisation services to Finnish companies.

Team Finland is a network of public actors, offering internationalisation services to Finnish companies. The aim is to provide a smooth service chain from information sharing and advice giving to financing.

The core of the Team Finland network is formed by the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employment, Ministry for Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Education and Culture as well as the public organisations and foreign representations working under these ministries. Around the world there are over 80 local teams representing the Team Finland network. In their own region, they gather the Finnish authorities, public organisations and other Finland-related actors (e.g. chambers).

In Lithuania, the objective of the Team Finland is to provide information for private companies on Lithuania as a business environment and market area, promote establishing necessary contacts as well as give advice and support in problematic situations. We also make the Finnish society and its strong sectors better known in Lithuania through different channels.

Market information

Lithuania’s economy is growing strongly and will offer diverse opportunities for Finnish companies in 2026. The country is investing particularly in security, defence and crisis resilience, but also in renewable energy, infrastructure, digitalisation, and healthcare. A positive image of Finland and deepening NATO cooperation strengthen the position of Finnish actors in the Lithuanian market.

New content is added to the service almost daily. Companies need to sign in with a business ID to use the service.
