North American Lithuanian Business Forum 2025
North American Business Forum 2025
Kazickas Family Foundation Director Domante Howes participated in the NALB Forum in Boston, where leaders from Lithuanian and U.S. business, science, and culture gathered. Forum participants engaged in insightful discussions, explored innovative ideas, and laid the groundwork for cross-industry collaborations.

KŠF supports this event because one of our missions is to build bridges between Lithuania and the world, fostering collaboration, knowledge exchange, and initiatives that create lasting value.
Domantė shares her thoughts:
“The forum featured inspiring presentations—from innovations in energy and artificial intelligence to business development in the U.S. But what moved me the most was the discussion about art as therapy. In Massachusetts, doctors increasingly prescribe visits to museums, creative workshops, and community activities instead of medication via the initiative CultureRx. This not only strengthens emotional well-being but also drives systemic change.”
A key phrase from the forum was: “We need less competition and more conversation.” This is the foundation of our work—to connect people, listen to ideas, and help bring them to life.
The evening event at the Lithuanian Home in Boston—a building owned by the Lithuanian community for over 100 years—was a reminder that culture, creativity, and connections are what unite us worldwide.
Huge thanks to the organizers, partners, speakers, and all participants for making this forum a success!
