The k29 business center in Vilnius is now home to the Nasdaq Technology Center, and also two of its sister companies – Nasdaq Vilnius Stock Exchange, and the Central Securities Depository of Lithuania.
Nasdaq technology powers more than 70 marketplaces in 50 countries; transformative solutions are delivered to the world’s exchanges, clearing houses, central depositories, brokers-dealers, regulators, public and private companies.
“Nasdaq delivers innovative trading, technology, intelligence and company services that ensure transparency and provide insight for navigating today’s global capital markets,” explained Hans-Ole Jochumsen, President, Nasdaq. “We support a healthy capital market ecosystem to make it easier for companies of all sizes to raise growth capital and create new jobs.”

“Nasdaq is definitely a flagship in this sense and I am truly happy Vilnius has been chosen as home for the Nasdaq competence center, which in turn will attract exceptionally talented professionals from Lithuania and elsewhere.“
Nasdaq also expressed its gratitude to Invest Lithuania’s highly passionate specialists for their dedication to promoting Lithuania as a world class FDI destination.
According to Mantas Katinas, General Manager at Invest Lithuania, “The arrival of a world-class company like Nasdaq to Lithuania is great news because of the opportunities it will create for skilled specialists in the country. It also serves as a great motivation for talented Lithuanians that have left to study and live abroad to think about returning. It shows them that they can fulfil their career ambitions at a globally renowned, cutting edge company here in Lithuania.”
By the end of October Nasdaq will have created approximately 120 new positions for talented software developers and engineers, QA test specialists, analysts, accountants and system operations administrators.
