What do we do?

GovTech Lab matches GovTech challenges and ideas

Our main goal is to connect public sector institutions that have challenges and teams with innovative ideas and capabilities in entrepreneur community, academia, or NGO. We help public sector identify challenges and find ideas or solutions to solve them. To achieve this, we have developed GovTech Challenge Series, a structured programme to build GovTech solutions solving the most pressing challenges.

GovTech Lab accelerates GovTech teams

We help startups and SMEs, working on GovTech solutions to validate their ideas, create MVPs, build and expand their businesses. Our Accelerator helps teams working with public sector institutions during the GovTech Challenge Series. The Accelerator provides free expert consultations on business development, public procurement, product development, marketing and other topics. It assists startups with finding relevant clients in the public sector, both in Lithuania and abroad.

GovTech Lab is building GovTech community

Strong GovTech community is a backbone of a thriving ecosystem! Therefore GovTech Lab works on spreading the knowledge about GovTech and building networks of innovators both within and outside the public sector. We organise community events for both public and private sectors from local meetups, training sessions to public sector officials to international conferences. To build a local GovTech community that could have a global impact, we also co-founded and run an international network of similar organisations that connects the global GovTech community – Global GovTech Alliance.
