A Productive Visit to Lithuania: Preparing for the April Creative Sprint in Vilnius. We recently concluded a highly fruitful visit to Lithuania—an important step in preparing for the upcoming Creative Sprint in Vilnius, scheduled for April. During this visit, Kevin Sanikidze, Marie Björck, and Anna Enquist Müller participated in meetings, presentations, and discussions that brought us closer to the next phase of our project work.The events were organized by Laima Dockevičienė, Rasa Strumskytė, and the team at Rietavo turizmo ir verslo informacijos centras, the Lithuanian partner of the TAB - EU project.Rietavas: Discussing the Future of Innovation in the Region In Rietavas, we met with over 30 representatives from the municipalities of Telšiai, Rietavas, Mažeikiai, and Plungė to collectively explore the future of innovation in the region.Key topics included:<ul><li>Building local innovation hubs</li><li>Engaging communities from the earliest stages</li><li>Ensuring long-term financial sustainability</li><li>The importance of partnerships and proper infrastructure</li></ul>Kevin shared insights from Talent Garden’s experience in establishing innovation spaces across Europe, emphasizing that smaller regions should design their models based on local strengths and needs rather than replicating big-city solutions. We also heard from Marie Björck, who highlighted the unique opportunities that smaller regions like Blekinge and Telšiai County can offer.&nbsp;<figure id="figure-fe5p3kogam8mxf3yi"><img id="fe5p3kogam8mxf3yi" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/1dm8AskXd67Q0WfwZTlxl2xKR1EQPF1l3XRmyfXH1NoDwz2SzSpDq3yyKzmmJxJd.jpg" alt="" title="" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-sm md:rounded-md lg:rounded-lg" style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: 0% 10%;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="1:1" data-caption="" data-positionx="0%" data-positiony="10%" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/1dm8AskXd67Q0WfwZTlxl2xKR1EQPF1l3XRmyfXH1NoDwz2SzSpDq3yyKzmmJxJd.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: 0% 10%;"></figure><figure id="figure-7c1piyauzem8mxpe9b"><img id="7c1piyauzem8mxpe9b" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/27if1yVydym83U6sKP19HkltiTZbQbgEF3dLHbXCV3yzSIhzaW0tD1TESnim5GM7.jpg" alt="" title="" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-sm md:rounded-md lg:rounded-lg" style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="1:1" data-caption="" data-positionx="null" data-positiony="null" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/27if1yVydym83U6sKP19HkltiTZbQbgEF3dLHbXCV3yzSIhzaW0tD1TESnim5GM7.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: center center;"></figure>During the meeting, we invited all participants to join us for the Creative Sprint in Vilnius, which will bring together policymakers, creatives, tech professionals, and innovation leaders from across Europe this April.<figure id="figure-yyll9vznhrm8mwuc3m"><img id="yyll9vznhrm8mwuc3m" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/8x34POj9QVBoXN6rTzXmeGcwrsEYNaZxbkg5dzVx9pA82IGu5pCgJARwXRwhoEnA.jpg" alt="" title="" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-sm md:rounded-md lg:rounded-lg" style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="1:1" data-caption="" data-positionx="null" data-positiony="null" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/8x34POj9QVBoXN6rTzXmeGcwrsEYNaZxbkg5dzVx9pA82IGu5pCgJARwXRwhoEnA.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: center center;"></figure>Vilnius: Talent Garden Visit and New Partnerships In Vilnius, we visited Talent Garden Vilnius, where we finalized key details for the April event.

This event showed that working in small, dynamic teams can be the key to breakthrough ideas. Working in four teams demonstrated how effective the integration of creativity and technology can be in addressing contemporary challenges.Each of the four groups focused on different aspects of storytelling, such as:<ul><li>Development of immersive visual technologies.</li><li>Integration of music and sound in modern narratives.</li><li>Application of artificial intelligence in film production.</li><li>Creation of tools supporting new forms of creativity.</li></ul>Every group has produced a tangible output (a pitch, a prototype, a storyboard, etc.). All project ideas have taken a meaningful step forward in product development or business idea development. A collaborative environment has been fostered, with participants motivated to work together in the future. <figure id="figure-w3t0cioorm60ty2np" class=""><img id="w3t0cioorm60ty2np" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/17JDIroB14l8kpPbnNsr3wBrg0tjfmihxgZlZM8MmwQuCkt2YuFKz3XqCp8anlEs.jpg" alt="" title="" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-sm md:rounded-md lg:rounded-lg" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="null" data-positiony="null" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/17JDIroB14l8kpPbnNsr3wBrg0tjfmihxgZlZM8MmwQuCkt2YuFKz3XqCp8anlEs.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"></figure>This event, as part of the T.A.B. project, received support from the Interreg South Baltic 2021–2027 program, fostering cross-sectoral development in the region.&nbsp;
