Members can discuss business concerns directly with diplomatic representatives of the nine member countries, which collectively represent Lithuania's largest trading partner.

Broad incumbents

• Enterprise Lithuania: Government agency supporting Lithuanian SME export development and internationalization. Shares EBN's mission of growing Lithuanian trade activity, but operates with public funding and broader national remit.
• Invest Lithuania: Government agency for FDI attraction in Lithuania, providing investor servicing, market intelligence, and international promotion. Operates at national scale with public funding rather than membership fees but addresses overlapping trade facilitation needs.
• Association of Lithuanian Chambers of Commerce, Industry and Crafts: Umbrella chamber of commerce body in Lithuania providing trade documentation, member services, and bilateral chamber coordination. Comparable trade facilitation role but covers all countries rather than a curated coalition.
