The fifth “Be involved” seminar designed according to an interactive “Get inspired – help – share – analyze” concept took place in Klaipeda on 12 July 2018. The event was held at Klaipeda Science and Technology Park, a centre focused on promoting an innovative entrepreneurship environment in the region. Participants from six Latvian and Lithuanian cities arrived to the venue to listen to success stories of major businesses in the area, meet representatives of newly-established companies and discuss positive and negative scenarios of their further development, get acquainted with potential start-ups, and consider an interesting business case from Lithuania.

The first one to take the floor was Algirdas Sabaliauskas, a Talent Scout from Baltic Talents Academy – a vocational educational institution providing courses in programming, design and other digital disciplines. During the event, he emphasized how crucial it is to bring value to students, employers and state, as well as mentioned that building a brand recognition in the field of education is a long and complicated process that can take several years.

Afterwards, Mr. Darius Šoparas presented his company Creative Partner, which has been offering IT solutions, including websites and mobile applications, since 2000.  Darius also gave a valuable advice to seminar participants regarding launching new products. “If you have an idea, it must be on the market within three months! Do not try to do something complex at once: create a minimal viable product (MVP) and test your concept,” – he said.
