Motivation

I’ve always been fascinated by the transformative power of technology and its ability to shape our future world.
My professional journey into the startup and business world began 3 years ago. I am patriotic, I voluntarily performed permanent mandatory military service in the mechanized infantry brigade ‘Iron Wolf’, so when I heard about the ‘Kurk Lietuvai’ project, I thought it was a great opportunity to combine these two important areas, promote local business, and contribute to the defense of the Lithuanian forces technological growth. I think it is important for Lithuania to become a technologically advanced country in today’s context.
