Science And Technology Parks
Lithuania’s science and technology parks seek to provide a comfortable environment for commercializing R&D activities and integrating business, science, and research by supporting knowledge transfers leading to the exploitation of research results and to the development of marketable products and services. Science and technology parks develop favourable infrastructure for the establishment of new innovative businesses in Lithuania and encourage the growth of existing businesses engaged in the development of innovative technologies.
At present, there are six science and technology parks (STP) in Lithuania:
