Two Words:

1) A NOKIA
2) EMIGRANT POPULATION

A brand name that unites Lithuania's creative, scientific, and business minds. NOKIA was born in a nation with a population of 5.4 million people. Lithuania's current population is a couple million short of that, but add to it its emigrant population and it is equal or even better. Look at what Harvard Business Review (December 2009) has to say about innovators:

"One of the most powerful experiments innovators can engage in is living and working overseas. Our research revealed that the more countries a person has lived in, the more likely he or she is to leverage that experience to deliver innovative products, processes, or businesses. In fact, if managers try out even one international assignment before becoming CEO, their companies deliver stronger financial results than companies run by CEOs without such experience - roughly 7% higher market performance on average."

Lithuania needs its emigrant population!
