Creating the roadmap for the development of engineering technologies in Lithuania
Problem
Lithuania’s industrial and technology sectors are facing rapidly intensifying challenges related to global competition, digitalization, automation, and the green transition. Despite strong capabilities in areas such as lasers and photonic technologies, Lithuania still lacks a systemic approach to the development of priority engineering technologies, coordinated collaboration between academia and industry, and a clear long-term technological development direction.
The main challenges currently include:
- Insufficient commercialization of high value-added engineering technologies.
- Shortage of a skilled workforce.
- Low levels of industrial digitalization and automation.
- Fragmentation within the innovation and R&D ecosystem.
- A growing need to strengthen technological resilience and defense capabilities.
In light of the European Union’s strategic priorities and the rapid pace of global technological development, it is essential to identify the areas where Lithuania has the greatest potential and to develop a clear roadmap for engineering technologies. Such a roadmap would support a targeted approach to strengthening the country’s competitiveness, innovation capacity, and economic resilience by 2035.
The project will focus on the development of advanced manufacturing, digitalization, automation, and high value-added technologies, with the aim of strengthening Lithuania’s position in European and global technology and industrial value chains.
The project will involve the analysis of scientific research, patents, market dynamics, and technological trends, as well as expert consultations and an assessment of the readiness of Lithuania’s science, business, and innovation ecosystem for technological transformation.
Goal
The goal of the project is to develop recommendations for technology development, strengthening R&D, skills development, as well as for financing, regulation, collaboration, and the commercialization of innovation in Lithuania.
