Social Enterprises Acceleration Program

The Kazickas Family Foundation is glad to contribute to an initiative that strengthens the social entrepreneurship ecosystem in Lithuania.

The two-month acceleration program for social enterprises, implemented for the third time by the Innovation Agency and Katalista Ventures, has come to an end. This year, 16 selected teams took part, deepening their knowledge in business development strategies, marketing, innovation, financial planning, and networking. In addition, the study visit to Lisbon provided exceptional value, offering meaningful international experience.

The program culminated in pitch presentations at the Kazickas Family residence in Vilnius. The evaluation panel included KFF’s Director in Lithuania, Domante Howes, as well as Diana Bukantaitė, Head of Jaunimo linija, Donatas Šumyla, Partnerships Lead at Rockit Vilnius, and representatives of Acme Geri Darbai, Sigita Paulauskienė and Audronė Vaitkienė.

We extend our gratitude to organizers and all participants for their sincere commitment to creating positive change. We are proud to support the growth of social entrepreneurship and look forward to seeing where these projects will go next!
