The laser technology sector is one of the strongest sectors of Lithuanian industry. Since the start of fundamental research more than 50 years ago, it has grown into an ecosystem in its own right.
Lithuania has been at the forefront of laser technology since the late 1960s. Lithuanian scientists began to explore the potential of laser technology, sparking a pioneering spirit that has contributed to the global advancement of laser technology. Since then, the country has established itself as a renowned centre for laser research and manufacturing, earning the title of "Laser Nation" on the international photonics scene.
Today, the sector boasts a strong and dynamic ecosystem of highly skilled professionals, cutting-edge research institutions and a strong business community. Lithuanian laser companies are renowned for their exceptional quality and precision, offering customised solutions that serve a wide range of industries, from medical to manufacturing. Continued national and business investment in research and development has ensured that Lithuanian lasers remain at the forefront of technology and have become a symbol of national pride and a significant contributor to the national economy.
The Lithuanian laser sector is indeed characterised by a spirit of cooperation. A close-knit community of scientists, engineers and entrepreneurs share knowledge and promote innovation. With as much as 90% of production exported to more than 90 countries, Lithuanian laser technology is used in cutting-edge scientific and industrial applications worldwide. The remarkable combination of historical ingenuity and modern excellence makes Lithuanian lasers a shining example of scientific progress, reflecting the country's determination to push the boundaries of its capabilities.
