In such a case, this would allow stakeholders to use self-identification online, open business and use public services – fuelling Europe’s economy.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Big opportunities for Lithuanian-German cooperation.\u003C/strong>\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>During the economic forum, it was noted that the melting away of international borders is beneficial for everyone in our continent as this allows significantly closer cooperation. Indeed, for Mindaugas Ubartas, the CEO of Infobalt, an association of Lithuania’s IT industry, such collaboration is especially relevant for Lithuania, as the country is highly competitive in both current and upcoming technological sectors.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>Ubartas continues that this presents an opportunity for Lithuania to work with Germany. After all, it is s a leading exporter of industrial goods globally: He explained: “This way we can get a better competitive edge not only for Lithuania but for the whole EU. We have a very good situation in regard to IT infrastructure in Lithuania: we can sign digitally, open company digitally, get services from companies and the public sector online. We need to start building a data economy. That would be my dream.”\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>As stated, Trust & Security head Rebekka Weiß, the real-time economy depends on cooperation between businesses and different countries. “We need to start working together, and we need to trust the technology. This is the only way we will be able to gain customers all over the world. European countries should not view each other as competitors,” she continued.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>The German-Lithuanian Economic Forum panellists unanimously agree that Europe must push for the faster rollout of digital infrastructure. This would help develop other sectors and improve citizens’ quality of life as digitalisation would encourage adaptation of smart homes for cities and regions.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>Both Lithuania and Germany are doing great at implementing the latest networks, open data policies and Industry 4.0 standards, but closer integration in Europe in terms of data sharing would bring the whole continent significant competitive advantage over the rest of the world.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://enterpriselithuania.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Es_logo-color_200px.png\" width=\"200\" alt=\"\" height=\"56\" />\u003C/p>\n\u003Ch2> \u003C/h2>\n",[93,102,111,125],{"image":94,"title":97,"url":98,"id":99,"text":100,"temos":101},{"src":95,"is_svg":8,"ratio":96,"alt":97,"caption":13},"https://web-prod.inovacijuagentura.lt/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/kosmoso-memorandumas-su-polsa.jpg",0.6669921875,"Lithuania Strengthens Cooperation with Poland and the United States in the Space Sector: Important Memorandums Signed","/en/naujiena/lithuania-strengthens-cooperation-with-poland-and-the-united-states-in-the-space-sector-important-memorandums-signed/",6748,"Lithuania’s space sector continues to strengthen international partnerships and expand cooperation with key players in the global space industry.
