Greater Baltic Forum
Dear Madam / Sir,
It is my honour to invite you to participate in the Greater Baltic Forum, to be held on 18–19 June 2026 in Vilnius, Lithuania. It will comprise 2 intersecting forums: Greater Baltic Forum. Business and Greater Baltic Forum. Regions, where investors will meet mayors, ministers will discuss with scientists, and companies from different countries will find business partners.
The Greater Baltic Forum is to become a platform for strategic dialogue and cooperation of political, business and scientific leaders of the Baltic Sea Region countries and beyond. Inspired by the strategic priorities of the European Union the Forum aims at converting them into real political, business and scientific cooperation initiatives.
Our partner institutions in Lithuania: Seimas (Parliament); Ministry of Foreign Affairs; Ministry of National Defence; Ministry of Economy and Innovation; Ministry of the Interior. Partners: Lithuanian Association of Local Authorities; Lithuanian Confederation of Industrialists, Institute of International Relations and Political Science of Vilnius University.
At a time of accelerating geopolitical, technological and economic change, the Baltic Sea Region is emerging as one of Europe’s most resilient and innovative macro-regions. The Greater Baltic Forum aspires to become the annual meeting point of the creators of this progress.
This year, the event brings together ministers, parliamentarians, mayors, business leaders, scientists and experts with ambition to:
discuss key challenges and opportunities, primarily focusing on security and defence,
formulate joint statements (Vilnius Business Declaration and Vilnius Regions Declaration),
develop partnerships of governments, businesses and regions (matchmaking sessions).
A limited number of complimentary invitations is available. We would be honoured by your participation.
Please, register to the event before April 17 using this Registration link.
