Year of growth and expansion
As the year comes to a close, I can’t help but feel proud and grateful for everything we’ve accomplished together in 2024. It’s been a truly special year for ROCKIT and Lithuania’s growing fintech and innovation community.
This year, we took some big steps forward. We expanded beyond our home in Vilnius by launching Startup Acceleration Programs in Kaunas and Klaipėda. These programs have opened up new doors for startups in Central and Western Lithuania, creating fresh opportunities and supporting the next generation of talented entrepreneurs across the country.
Another highlight of 2024 was seeing our signature Fintech Day conference grow into Baltic Fintech Days. This transformation was possible thanks to our collaboration with amazing partners like Nordic Fintech Magazine, Fintech Latvia Association, and Finance Estonia. Together, we’re building something bigger — a place where the brightest minds and key players in Baltic fintech can connect, share ideas, and move the industry forward.
Our goal is simple: to create the most exciting and meaningful fintech experience in the region. We want to bring together innovators, industry leaders, and decision-makers to spark fresh ideas, foster collaboration, and explore the future of financial technologies.
None of this would have been possible without the support of our incredible partners, like VISA, Mastercard, Accenture, and our friends at the Ministry of Economy, Ministry of Finance, Invest Lithuania, and the Agency of Innovation. Working together, we’ve been able to shine an even brighter light on Lithuania’s place in the global fintech scene. By teaming up, we’ve shared valuable knowledge, hosted inspiring events, and given startups the tools they need to grow and lead on the global stage.
This year, we also supported 45 startups from all kinds of industries — from renewable energy and AI to health tech. These startups have hit some amazing milestones, like building the Baltics’ largest solar energy park and breaking new ground with AI-powered HR solutions and health innovations. Seeing their success is a powerful reminder of why we do what we do.
But the truth is, none of this would have happened without you. Whether you were a partner, supporter, or a friendly face at one of our events — you made a difference. Thank you for being part of our journey, for sharing your insights, and for helping us grow this vibrant community. Your support means more than you know.
As we look to 2025, we’re more excited than ever. Let’s keep this momentum going, keep innovating, and keep supporting one another. Together, there’s no limit to what we can achieve.
Wishing you a joyful holiday season filled with warmth, happiness, and plenty of time with the people you love. Here’s to an exciting, successful, and inspiring 2025!
With gratitude and warm wishes,
Lina and the whole ROCKIT team
