Palanga – a park-city where nature and architecture speak the same language • This May in Venice, at one of the world's most prestigious architecture exhibitions, Lithuania opened its national pavilion titled “Archi/Tree/tecture”, curated by the Lithuanian Union of Architects. Among the standout projects representing the country are three from Palanga – Lithuania's largest seaside resort – where trees are not obstacles but equal partners in architecture.

Lithuania's MEP Rasa Jukneviciene: “By not helping Ukraine as much as it needs, we may be repeating 1938”

The Baltics Beckon: BCP's Fast-Track EU Residency Unlocks New Wealth Gateways • A new player in the Baltic business landscape is making a splash locally. Baltic Capital Partners (BCP), headquartered atop the tallest building in the Baltics, the Europa Tower in Vilnius, has quickly emerged as a significant conduit for culture and investment from the Australasian region into Lithuania – and by extension, Estonia and Latvia. Boasting the ability to obtain Residency Permits for qualifying clients, often in under 4 weeks, BCP has attracted newcomers to the region who are looking to invest in Europe or enjoy more of what it has to offer.

Addways Logistics founder Donata Kuprescenkiene: “I want to be on the Board of a major company to make change!” • Until now, she seemingly had everything she dreamt of-for a graduate of special education and speech therapy (she also holds a degree in business management), becoming the head and co-owner of a successful logistics company in Klaipeda, Lithuania's third-largest city on the Baltic coast, might appear improbable. But Donata Kuprescenkiene, the founder, the former CEO, and co-owner of UAB Addways Logistics, and since the beginning of the year, its Board Member, is now aiming higher. She wants to devote her experience, knowledge, and boundless energy to supporting other entrepreneurial women-helping, mentoring, and inspiring them.

Zivile Pinskuviene: from a small-town girl to a tenacious Mayor transforming Sirvintos • Ten years ago, on the same day she turned 40, Zivile Pinskuviene stood before the Council of the town of Sirvintos, some 50 kilometers away from the Lithuanian capital Vilnius and tucked in the lush nature. With her hand raised, she swore the mayoral oath that would mark the beginning of a bold political journey – one driven by vision, grit, and unapologetic honesty. What followed was nothing short of a transformation: a once-forgotten Lithuanian town blossomed into a modern, thriving community.

Leading innovation in CRISPR: the story of Caszyme CEO Dr. Monika Paule • When you talk about bold moves in biotechnology, the journey of Dr. Monika Paule stands out. As the CEO and co-founder of Caszyme, a pioneering Lithuanian biotechnology company specializing in CRISPR gene-editing technologies, she helped transform a world-class academic discovery into a dynamic biotech company pushing boundaries in the global CRISPR field. With a blend of scientific legacy and entrepreneurial insight, Paule is not only redefining the biotech landscape in Lithuania but also serving as a model of leadership, innovation, and resilience in a traditionally male-dominated industry.

Bridging Latvia and Hamburg – the remarkable legacy of Dr. Sabine Sommerkamp-Homann • In a world increasingly in need of cultural diplomacy and human connection, Dr. Sabine Sommerkamp-Homann, the Honorary Consul of the Republic of Latvia in Hamburg since 1997, stands as a beacon of dedication, intellect, and heartfelt service, building bridges between Germany and Latvia across culture, academia, and diplomacy.
