As part of Going Global 4 at Startup Fair 2025, Go Vilnius integrated into the largest startup event this year, hosting two panels for founders, investors, and ecosystem builders. One of the panels, “Shouting Out Loud: Why Telling Your Startup Story Matters”, was moderated by Akvilė Lesauskaitė-Hu, Global PR and Business at Go Vilnius, and featured John Reynolds from Tech.eu as a guest, alongside with Kristina Skindelytė, CEO of Particle PR and Patricija Černiauskaitė, Head of PR at Surfshark.
Following the event, John Reynolds wrote a feature for Tech.eu titled “Lithuania’s tech ecosystem: Founders and executives discuss its evolution”, exploring the rapid growth and resilience of Lithuania’s startup ecosystem. The article highlights Vilnius as the country’s main hub, home to thriving startups and three unicorns, including Vinted and Nord Security, and emerging hubs like Kaunas. Reynolds discusses how Lithuanian startups are expanding internationally, the talent pool in Vilnius, and the support ecosystem—including Startup Lithuania and Unicorns Lithuania—which helps early-stage companies access networks, investors, and mentorship.
Going Global 4 provided a platform for founders and executives to discuss how effective storytelling can help startups reach international markets and sharpen their messaging, while the Tech.eu article gives a broader view of Vilnius' and Lithuania’s position as a rapidly growing, globally connected tech ecosystem.
