ABOUT

OUR MISSION

LINPRA – the Engineering and Technology Industries Association of Lithuania – is an independent business organisation representing the interests of manufacturing companies in the fields of metal, machinery and equipment, electronics and electromechanics, plastics and rubber industries.

Our mission is to strengthen the engineering and technology industry in Lithuania by improving the business environment, increasing sector competitiveness, fostering internationalisation and export potential, promoting digital and technological transformation, and supporting skills development and education.

We empower our members to innovate, grow, and remain competitive in the global market – through active representation, strategic partnerships, practical services, and community-building initiatives.

KEY ACTIVITIES

Representing Industry Interests

We advocate for the needs of the Lithuanian engineering and technology sector at national and international levels. LINPRA maintains close cooperation with government bodies, ministries, educational and science institutions, and European industrial organisations. We represent member interests in business environment policy-making, legal framework development, etc.

LINPRA is actively engaged in European-level representation through organisations such as ORGALIM, EUPC, ECP4 and others, ensuring that the Lithuanian industry’s voice is heard in Brussels and beyond.

Supporting Project Involvement and Implementation

LINPRA coordinates and participates in national and international projects relevant to the engineering sector. We help members engage in initiatives that provide not only funding opportunities, but also tangible benefits such as staff upskilling, export promotion, and innovation uptake.

As a member of EIT Manufacturing – a leading European innovation community – LINPRA enables companies to develop and launch their own project concepts, find international partners, and access European funding for R&D, innovation, and technology deployment.

Promoting Export and International Collaboration

We facilitate internationalisation by helping companies find new markets and partners abroad. LINPRA organises participation in global industrial exhibitions, inbound and outbound business missions, B2B matchmaking sessions, and meetings with Lithuanian commercial attachés in foreign countries.

We actively promote Lithuania’s engineering industry potential through international events, platforms, and forums – enhancing visibility and credibility of Lithuanian manufacturers and innovators on the global stage.

Driving Technological Transformation and Industry 4.0

We support engineering companies in embracing the fourth industrial revolution. LINPRA encourages the adoption of smart manufacturing solutions, digital transformation, and sustainable technologies.

Our affiliated centre Intechcentras plays a key role in this effort – offering industry-focused audits (Industry 4.0, energy efficiency, sustainability, plastics recycling, packaging recyclability), productivity consultations, engineering and technical training, and international technology missions. Intechcentras also manages the national Smart Manufacturing Digital Innovation Hub (DIH), supporting SMEs in their transformation journey.

Advancing Skills and Education

We work to align Lithuania’s education system with the real needs of the engineering sector. LINPRA is involved in shaping vocational education and training (VET) policy, developing apprenticeship models, and cooperating with ministries and educational institutions.

We lead initiatives that promote engineering careers among youth – including coordination of the national mobile STEAM lab Infomobilis and the STEAM TEAM National Young Engineers Championship.

LINPRA also supports the development of STEAM centres across Lithuania and organises teacher training, qualification upgrades, and labour market research.

Building Community and Networking

LINPRA unites around 170 member organisations – manufacturers, service providers, education and training institutions, associations and clusters – forming a dynamic ecosystem for cooperation, knowledge-sharing and mutual growth.

We facilitate regular communication with members through internal channels, social media, and dedicated events. Annual general meetings and biannual elections foster transparency and engagement within our association. We also hold community events, networking sessions in regions, and co-organise Lithuania’s largest Industry 4.0 conference, which brings together industrial leaders, innovators and future talents.
