From March 17 to 21, 2025, KVOTA and its CEO, Olga Melykh, participated in the international initiative EU4Business: SME Recovery, Competitiveness, and Internationalisation, implemented by GIZ and the Lithuanian Innovation Centre.
As part of the program "Enhancing the Capacity of Ukrainian Business Entities," the Ukrainian Automotive and Mobility Cluster (UAMC) visited Lithuania, where a packed schedule of meetings was organized.
During the visit, the delegation visited key cities in Lithuania — Vilnius, Kaunas, and Klaipeda. Participants had the opportunity to meet with Lithuanian business communities, government representatives, and export agencies.
Visits to the Chambers of Commerce and Industry of Vilnius and Kaunas, the Klaipeda Free Economic Zone, as well as B2B meetings with potential partners, provided invaluable experience that will help expand export opportunities and foster cooperation with Lithuania’s largest clusters and professional associations.
Particular attention was drawn to the visits to scientific and technical institutes, where an excellent synergy between science, business, and startups was demonstrated. The program also included a trip to the sea, which was a pleasant conclusion to the busy days.
This experience marked an important step in the development of our partnerships and exports. We sincerely thank the organizers for the opportunity to expand horizons for the Ukrainian automotive industry!
