This increased funding will accelerate the acquisition of military equipment and weaponry, enhancing the country\u2019s deterrence and operational capabilities. To support this expansion, the government is introducing \u2018green corridor\u2019 initiatives to streamline procurement processes, attract international partners, and boost local industrial participation. As part of this effort, Lithuania is actively seeking international defence industry cooperation to strengthen its domestic defence base, facilitate technology transfer, and promote joint development and manufacturing initiatives.<\/p>\n<h3>Register to attend<\/h3>\n<p>To register your attendance please click on the \u2018Register Now\u2019 button and login to complete your registration for this event.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adsgroup.org.uk\/events\/briefing-lithuania-research-development-and-innovation-diplomacy-programme\/\">Briefing: Lithuania Research &amp; Development and Innovation Diplomacy Programme<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adsgroup.org.uk\/\">ADS Group<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ADS, in partnership with Innovation Agency Lithuania, invites UK industry to participate in a dynamic Research, Development &amp; Innovation (RD&amp;I) event.
