Mantas Katinas, the CEO of the foreign investment development agency “Investuok Lietuvoje” (English: Invest Lithuania) noted that Bazaarvoice is joining innovative companies already working in Vilnius, which care about their employees the way they care about their customers. – Lithuanian talents already know what the global business culture is, so they can offer much more than just boasting about formal education.

“The United States of America is one of the main markets wherefrom companies engaged in the development of “business-to-business” IT products come to Lithuania. On the one hand, the complexity of the product determines not only the salary paid to specialists, but also the competences acquired at work. This is especially important at the current stage of the ecosystem’s development, because we already see how young specialists having worked in international technology companies contribute their comprehensive experience in start-ups, allowing them to grow”, says Virginijus Sinkevičius, the Minister of Economy.
