A modern port creates value far beyond the waterfront. It strengthens trade, supports business growth and contributes to the wider economy. Its future depends on people who are ready to test new technologies and turn promising ideas into practical solutions.
This September, PORTATHON will bring together young talent, researchers, experienced professionals and companies for 48 hours of focused work on pressing maritime challenges.
The Minister’s patronage highlights the importance of supporting ideas that can begin in Klaipeda and grow into solutions for Lithuania and international markets.
