2 DEAR GUESTS, It is my honor and privilege to invite you to the third international Forum "Life Sciences Baltics 2016", which will be held in Vilnius, Lithuania, on September 14-15, This bi-annual international science and business conference is the largest gathering of all life sciences specialists in the entire Central and Eastern Europe. Furthermore, with the special focus on three Baltic countries Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia the forum attracts numerous delegations from the leading countries, which are interested in discovering the Baltic region potential in the field of life sciences. THIS IS THE LARGEST GATHERING OF ALL LIFE SCIENCES SPECIALISTS IN THE ENTIRE CENTRAL AND EASTERN EUROPE. Since the future belongs to the bio-economy which is going to be based on the concrete results of the Life Sciences sector, it becomes crucial to turn it into a national priority. In order to improve international competitiveness and economic vibrancy in Lithuania, governmental institutions, and the whole science and business ecosystem join their forces to establish an open and friendly environment for attracting the progressive mind, break-through ideas and forming the new effective networks with partners from all over the world. Lithuania already hosts one of the most innovative hubs in Europe: 16 academic institutions, 15 most competent R&D centers along with the pool of over 15,000 specialists and researchers as well as nearly 200 companies operating in the sector, science parks, and innovation valleys. They provide the country with the most necessary tools to succeed in becoming one of the top high tech innovation centers in Europe or even the world. A nation with a population of only 3 million is among the top EU countries by the percentage of specialists with higher education. Universities currently train in physics and life sciences almost 9000 students, 1200 of these prospective inventors graduate every year. We have increased state financed places at universities and colleges for life science disciplines to ensure intellectual capacity for future growth. This decision is followed by prioritizing respective disciplines in the curriculum of high schools nation-wide. It is important to highlight that The Forum enjoys high participation by local and international corporations and investors who attend this conference to notice tomorrow s potential in today s products. We are committed to promote a closer international cooperation between science and business in the fields of biotechnology, medical equipment, devices and pharmacy. The Forum also provides a platform for startups to meet ˆ ALGIRDAS BUTKEVICIUS, PRIME MINISTER, REPUBLIC OF LITHUANIA up with partners and investors. It is the ultimate place to be exposed in the clinical trials, meet the venture capital experts, boost ideas and begin cooperating further. Join over 1000 business leaders and scientists at the Forum, meet potential partners, discover new opportunities, and share ideas for the new and prosperous future of humanity. Our country would be delighted to welcome you at "Life Sciences Baltics 2016".
