INFOBALT

What INFOBALT does

INFOBALT (legal name Asociacija INFOBALT) is Lithuania's largest digital technology (DigiTech) industry association, founded in 1994 and headquartered at Goštauto g. 8, Vilnius. It operates as a non-profit membership organisation uniting more than 150 member companies from Lithuania's ICT sector — including IBM, Crayon, Devoteam, Check Point, Ondato, and Kaunas University of Technology. Its core functional remit is sector advocacy: representing member interests to Lithuanian ministries and EU institutions, developing and implementing IT-sector export promotion strategies, organising international business missions, coordinating EU-funded regional projects, conducting ICT economic impact research, and convening industry events such as SKAITMENIZUOK'is. Governance is via an elected board and president serving two-year terms; Liudas Kanapienis (Ondato founder/CEO) was elected President in June 2026, succeeding Prof. dr. Tomas Krilavičius (2024–2026), with Simonas Černiauskas serving as Director since July 2023.

The association's revenue model is subscription-recurring membership fees supplemented by EU project funding (notably a €24.1M national cybersecurity initiative, a €3.5M Interreg Baltic Sea Region ESG Tool project, and a €2.97M COcyber project under the Digital Europe Programme). It does not sell commercial software; instead, it has built several platform products as consortium outputs: the ESG Tool/SusTool multilingual sustainability reporting platform (launched September 2025), BalticNOG (a network operators' collaboration platform launched August 2025), the CyberHubs European cybersecurity skills network, and the DI4 European Digital Innovation Hub. Distribution is direct-to-members plus international project partnerships with entities such as EIT Digital, EOS, the Lisbon Council, Université Libre de Bruxelles, and counterpart associations in Estonia (ITL Estonia, Economy Ministry), Latvia (LIKTA), Finland (DIMECC), Hungary (IVSZ), and Slovenia.

Geographically, INFOBALT operates primarily in Lithuania with expanding international project footprints across the Baltic Sea Region (Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Finland), the EU (Germany, Hungary, Slovenia), the Middle East and Africa (Egypt via GenAI and CyberCare projects, UAE via Dubai trade missions, Palestine via WomenForge), and North America (Toronto TechLink mission, GITEX Europe presence in Berlin). The association does not develop proprietary technology products in the conventional sense but functions as a platform orchestrator — assembling consortia, securing EU funding, and delivering collaborative digital tools on behalf of Lithuania's ICT ecosystem.

Core offering

INFOBALT is a non-profit industry association that represents more than 150 Lithuanian digital technology (ICT) companies with government authorities, implements EU-funded projects, develops and executes IT sector export promotion strategies, organizes international business missions to markets such as Toronto, Dubai, Germany and the USA, and conducts ICT sector research. It also coordinates collaborative platforms including the ESG Tool sustainability reporting platform, the BalticNOG technical community initiative, and the CyberHubs European cybersecurity network.

Product overview

INFOBALT is a digital technologies (DigiTech) association, not a product company. It does not offer a unified software product but rather provides membership services, industry advocacy, and coordinates various international projects including the ESG Tool (SusTool) sustainability platform, BalticNOG technical community platform, and CyberHubs European cybersecurity skills network. These are collaborative initiatives rather than commercial products sold to customers.
