Vilnius is set to host the prestigious EBAN Congress in 2026, a premier event for the European angel investing community. Organized annually by the European Business Angels Network (EBAN) in collaboration with local representatives, the 2026 edition will see the Lithuanian Business Angel Network (LitBAN) co-hosting the event. 

The EBAN Annual Congress is a hub for innovation and investment trends, attracting over 600 top-tier business angels, entrepreneurs, and thought leaders. It's a unique opportunity for networking and deal-making with industry experts. Attendees can expect a dynamic program featuring keynote speeches, panel discussions, and workshops on the latest investment topics, along with dedicated pitch sessions for startups. The event will conclude with a Gala dinner, where awards will be given to outstanding business angel networks, individual business angels, and standout deals of the year. A variety of side events will keep participants engaged throughout the Congress. 

"We are thrilled to bring one of Europe's most influential business events to Vilnius," says Roberta Rudokienė, head of LitBAN. "Our team's effort and success on the second attempt reflect our dedication. We're proud of our startup ecosystem and its achievements. Our mission is to attract more investors and business angels to Lithuania, foster cross-border investment, and enhance the ecosystem's growth and international visibility." 

The Go Vilnius is committed to strengthening its ties with the vibrant Lithuanian startup scene, recognized as the fastest growing in the Baltic region for several consecutive years. This collaboration enables Vilnius to host more leading conferences and events, providing delegates with unparalleled support and a warm welcome to the capital city.
