​Dear Vilnius and friends,

​Going Global is back for another round! This time, we’re bringing extra insights from a journalist at The Next Web and a seasoned contributor to the BBC, The Guardian, and other outlets.

​With beautiful spring weather outside, we’ll be digging into tough topics that require special attention when it comes to reputation building and international communication.

​Global Rankings: Helpful, Harmful, or Just Hype?

​We love to see whether we are happier this year than the year before, whether our cities are smarter, or which spot Vilnius holds among foreign investment destinations. However, these reports also receive criticism for narrow data selection or highly limited questionnaires. How much should we rely on international rankings, and how can we make the most of them?

​Do You Speak B2B? Approaching Lasers, Fintech, and Other Complex Topics

​Fintech, life sciences, and the laser industry are just some of the sectors propelling the Lithuanian economy forward. With the addition of defense technology and cybersecurity, Vilnius is strengthening its position as a regional hub of high competencies. But when it comes to spreading the good news, how do we talk about industries that are highly technical? The way we shape the narrative about these industries can have a significant impact on the national economy.

​Can Networking Make or Break Your Startup’s Growth?

​Sometimes, cold calling and emailing are simply not enough. While many Lithuanian startups encounter challenges when scaling, could close partnerships with other European startup networks and players be the answer? How much effort should we put into talking to potential partners and improving internal communication?
