Lithuania-UK Business Forum in London: three days, ten events

The forum took place from 21 to 23 October 2026. Read what we heard at the forum in our report.

According to the organisers, it is the largest LCCUK business event to date: 10 separate events are planned over three days, and more than 200 participants from Lithuania and the UK are expected.

The forum is aimed at Lithuanian companies planning to expand into the UK and at businesses already operating here. The organisers point out that trade in goods and services between Lithuania and the UK has more than doubled over the past decade and reached about €5.5 billion in 2025.
