🌍 Event Overview

On the opening day of the 2025 UN General Assembly High-Level Week, join the President of Lithuania, high-ranking officials, and Lithuanian and U.S. business representatives for a high-level event showcasing Lithuania’s unmatched strategic position as a partner for the global defense industry.

With a planned defense budget exceeding 5% of GDP in 2026, Lithuania is set to lead NATO in per capita military spending — a strong signal of its enduring commitment to the Alliance and shared responsibility for global security.

Global industry leaders, including Northrop Grumman and Rheinmetall, are already establishing operations in Lithuania. The government offers fast-track pathways for U.S. partnerships, and a delegation of Lithuanian companies — specializing in areas such as drone technology, advanced lasers, and IT solutions — will accompany the President and be available for direct engagement.

👥 Audience

This event is open to a high-level audience of corporate executives, investors, technology innovators, senior government officials and diplomats, and defense and security experts engaged in transatlantic cooperation.
Please feel free to share this invitation with colleagues from these fields.
