Business Mission Lithuania – UK 2026
Business Mission Lithuania – United Kingdom is a 3-day business and networking platform in London, bringing together companies, investors and public sector institutions from Lithuania and the UK.
The event is designed as a practical forum focused on real business opportunities, market entry and partnership development between the two countries.
It provides a dynamic environment for networking, direct connections and sector-based engagement — including targeted meetings, practical workshops and discussions across key industries.
Participants will gain not only insights, but also direct access to decision-makers, business partners and concrete opportunities to start, expand or strengthen their operations between Lithuania and the United Kingdom.
The forum builds on previous editions held in London, which brought together over 100 participants, including Lithuanian municipalities, government representatives, businesses and UK-based partners.
This year, the focus is even more practical — with a stronger emphasis on business connections, targeted meetings and real partnership opportunities.
Organised by LCCUK
The Lithuanian Chamber of Commerce in the United Kingdom (LCCUK) is a business platform connecting companies, institutions and professionals across the UK and Lithuania.
