Five Lithuanian entrepreneurs appear on Nordic’s Business Report for 30 under 30

President of JCI Lithuania, Ms. Loreta Pivoriūnaitė, who was one of the Jury members in Lithuania, says: „It is so important to bring value by recognizing and promoting young business talents outside Lithuania in order to promote our country and its bright individuals at the same time.“

Amongst other established entrepreneurs, such as former CEO of Russia’s „Vkontakte“, Danish „Onfone“, Finnish „DealDash“ representatives or Estonian minister for Education and research, five Lithuanians have found their place in the ranking.

Daumantas Dvilinskas, 25 – CEO and co-founder of TransferGo. The company suggests new trends and options in international money remittance and is now operating in 22 countries with 30,000 customers who are spread throughout Europe, in as many as 2,000 towns and cities.
