#LithuaniaLovesGameDev
We mainly chose Lithuania due to the business conditions and its convenient location.
But we got so much more that we expected –
starting with incredibly creative people to
work with, and ending with strong support
from local institutions and even risk capital
funds.
For highly skilled talent, creative and inspired
people and a sense of community with a positive
vibe - there’s no better place to be right now
than Lithuania.
