Lithuanian Innovation Centre
Why is this so important?
“…A small part of the globe, accounting for some 15% of the earth's population, provides nearly all of the world's technology innovations. A second part, involving perhaps half of the world's population, is able to adopt these technologies in production and consumption. The remaining part, covering around a third of the world's population, is technologically disconnected, neither innovating at home nor adopting foreign technologies. …”
“A new map of the world”, Jeffrey Sachs, The Economist, Jun 22nd 2000.

Small entrepreneurs are responsible for more than half of all innovations during 20 sentury:• 67 percent of inventions and 95 percent of
radical innovations since World War II;
(National Commision on Entrepreneurship White Paper: Embracing innovation – Entrepreneurship and American Economic Growth)
Why is this so important?
From the idea to commercial implementation passes 3-5 years.
And only 1 out of 10 innovations reaches the market.
Meanwhile, only 10-30% of new startups survive during the first 2-3 years.
Why is this so important?
Why is so hard for start-ups?
“Have you ever thought that you are on the incredible breakthrough threshold? "
What do they have?:• product - no, • customers - no, • income – no, •… just an idea .
...and the belief that within a couple of years they will stand on their own legs.

SP „ABELIA LT“. The idea is to set up a laboratory for the analysis of biological resources to carry out such investigations as heavy metals in water, soil and plants, and volatile organic compounds; dissolved ions in the water setting; total carbon and nitrogen content in soil and liquids. These tests will be carried out not only on scientific grounds, but will be open to the public.
INOVEKS Startups (3)
SP „BIOVALA“. Fitocleaning is a new, low - cost technology that uses unique characteristics of the plants to collect pollutants, promoting their degradation or transformation. Methods of fitocleaning such as fitomining can be economically viable and cleaning products can be obtained by market value.
SP „GALVAIDA“. Biodegradable waste will help create fertilizer; recycled materials will help create the conditions for the production of fertilizers. These fertilizers will be sold or used in perennial fruit crops.
