Lithuanian SME Growth & Expansion in US Market (InnoHUB US)

InnoHUB US sits under Innovation Agency Lithuania and serves as a rolling national de minimis grant for Lithuanian SMEs preparing to enter the U.S. market. It continues the former Versli Lietuva line of support and is aimed at exporters that need practical help with market entry rather than broad operating capital. The program covers up to 70% of eligible U.S. market-entry costs, with two activity tracks: participation in approved U.S. business development programs up to EUR 15,000 per applicant, and expert consultations on U.S. entry strategy, legal issues, and compliance up to EUR 6,000. Applicants must be Lithuanian-registered SMEs that have operated for at least one year, recorded at least EUR 50,000 in annual sales, and either exported in the past 24 months or are actively planning U.S. exports. Applications are submitted by email on a first-come, first-served basis until the EUR 80,000 pool is exhausted. The clearest fit is a company with a concrete U.S. entry plan, a live export track record, and a need to offset outside expertise or program fees. Because the grant is capped at the applicant level and the call is rolling, speed and a tight case for U.S. expansion matter as much as sector fit. The program favors firms that can turn short-term advisory support into a specific export push.

Each grant below is a distinct funding opportunity with its own eligibility, scope, and deliverables.
