10 words or less about yourselfA table tennis player by day, painter and swing dancer by night.

Something most people don’t know about youI’ve been playing table tennis competitively since I was 10. Had a notebook with my favourite players, collected stickers and was keeping track of every single game I played. Always up for a match.

An interesting fact from your countryLithuanian is one of the oldest languages in the world, used in Lithuania only. We also rank 1st in suicides.

THIS GEL CAN MAKE YOU STOP BLEEDING INSTANTLY

Opportunity

The innovation loop is a process formed and currently implemented in the county Västerbotten, in the northern parts of Sweden. The main purpose is to create the best possible atmosphere and excellent opportunities for ideas and innovation to flourish.

Key aspects of the innovation loop: The innovation loop wants to engage every sector of society – students, politicians, scientists, seniors, entrepreneurs etc – and give them the opportunity to be the change they want to see in the world.
