In this episode, Dharmesh speaks with Agnė Klimavičienė, who leads the FinTech stream at Invest Lithuania—a governmental agency under the Ministry of Economy and Innovation focused on attracting foreign investment.

Agnė outlines the strategic measures Lithuania has implemented to nurture its FinTech sector, including supportive regulation, targeted talent development, and financial incentives such as zero capital gains tax for founders and research and development grants.

The conversation highlights Lithuania’s competitive edge as an agile, technology-driven economy, particularly in comparison with other European markets. They also explore the country’s future ambitions, including the integration of artificial intelligence across financial services. Despite a relatively modest reliance on venture capital funding, the Lithuanian FinTech sector continues to deliver strong growth in revenue, employment, and international reach. Agnė concludes by reinforcing Lithuania’s growing prominence on the global FinTech stage.
