Partner Event – Baltic American Chamber of Commerce – Lithuania: Hotspot for Defense Investments and Partnerships

On the opening day of the 2025 UN General Assembly High-Level Week, join the President of Lithuania H.E. Gitanas Nausėda, high-ranking officials, and Lithuanian and U.S. business representatives for a high-level event showcasing Lithuania’s unmatched strategic position as a partner for the global defense industry.

With a planned defense budget exceeding 5% of GDP in 2026, Lithuania is set to lead NATO in per capita military spending — a strong signal of its enduring commitment to the Alliance and shared responsibility for global security.

Global industry leaders, including Northrop Grumman, a major American aerospace and defense technology company, and Rheinmetall, a German company and European leader in advanced defense and armored technology, are already establishing operations in Lithuania. The government offers fast-track pathways for U.S. partnerships, and a delegation of Lithuanian companies — specializing in areas such as drone technology, advanced lasers, and IT solutions — will accompany the President and be available for direct engagement.
