Organizers announced the launch of a new award aimed at highlighting and promoting innovative cooperation between the United States and Lithuania. The “Lithuanian-American Innovation Award” will highlight and promote innovative cooperation between the United States and Lithuania. 
The award – established by the Baltic American Freedom Foundation (BAFF), the American-Lithuanian Business Council (ALBC), and the U.S. Embassy in Vilnius – will be granted to a Lithuanian individual, organization, university, or firm that has developed an innovation in collaboration with a U.S. partner.
The three organizers of the award understand the importance of innovation to Lithuania’s economy. They are seeking to recognize creative solutions and developments broadly across business and commerce, academic and scientific research, medicine and health, the environment, energy, and education.
Any project that demonstrates a clear Lithuania-American link is eligible to win the Innovation Award. The organizers invite a large pool of candidates to apply and make the case for why their innovation deserves recognition. The core requirements are an impact or clear potential impact of the innovation, and the clear demonstration of collaboration with a U.S. individual or entity.
