"Applications come in waves. We may receive 30 applications one week
and none the next. I can't say why yet," Natalja Lichodedova, a project manager at Startup Lithuania, a unit
of Enterprise Lithuania, the government's export promotion agency, told the
paper.
"Of course, if we have an event, for example, in Ukraine or Turkey,
then, naturally, we receive queries and questionnaires from there," she
added.
According to Lichodedova, 25 companies have been issued with startup visas
since the process was launched last March and five of them have already set up
operations in Lithuania.
Startup Lithuania has considered a total of 115 applications, she said,
noting that a lack of innovation is the key hurdle for firms to obtain a
startup visa.
