LT VCA Christmas Awards 2025: Celebrating the Stars of our Ecosystem

The Lithuanian Private Equity and Venture Capital Association (LT VCA) recently brought our vibrant community together for the highly anticipated LT VCA Christmas Awards. It was a night dedicated to reflecting on a dynamic year, strengthening partnerships, and honoring the resilience and ambition that drive our market forward.

The evening opened with a welcoming address from LT VCA Board Chairman Kasparas Jurgelionis, who set a celebratory tone for the night. The festivities were guided by our event host, Paulius Ambrazevičius, who not only led the awards ceremony but later tested the community's knowledge with an engaging and lively quiz.
