Startup Fair 2025 Invites You to the Pitch Battle: €3 Million in Investment Awaits the Best Startups
Lithuania’s largest startup event – Startup Fair 2025 – is soon returning to Vilnius. On October 9, the event will culminate in the Pitch Battle at LITEXPO, where innovative startup ideas will compete for the attention of experienced investors. It’s a unique opportunity for startups to showcase their businesses to an international audience, attract investment, and build valuable connections.
Success stories from last year prove just how important this event is. For the winners – including startups Psylink and BrachyDOSE – the Pitch Battle became a launchpad for their next growth stage.
“Lithuania’s startup ecosystem is now stronger than ever – with over a thousand innovative businesses operating globally, attracting both investment and talent, and 67% already active abroad. However, growing without the right support is difficult – nearly a third of startups cite lack of financial resources as their main challenge. That’s why it’s crucial to take advantage of funding opportunities and events like Pitch Battle, which help attract investor attention and secure the necessary resources for growth,” says Karolina Urbonaitė, Head of Startup Lithuania.
