OSMOS Information

Founded in 2015, OSMOS is a non-profit think-and-do tank that aims to become the leading hub for mutually beneficial international partnerships in the Baltic States. OSMOS brings together practitioners, businesses, political, and academic communities working in and with EU partner countries. Between 2019 and 2022, OSMOS implemented the Digital Explorers project with partners from the public and private sectors. This first-of-its-kind partnership project between Lithuania and Nigeria provided training and career advancement opportunities for 30 young Nigerian IT talents in 13 Lithuanian ICT companies, created €2.5 million of added value for the Lithuanian ICT sector, stimulated direct Lithuanian investment in Nigeria, and opened up opportunities for cooperation between Lithuania and Nigeria in FinTech. After the first phase of Digital Explorers, between 2023 - 2026, the project is being further developed to include new partner countries (Kenya, Armenia, Iraq) and to share experiences with other Baltic States (Latvia and Estonia). OSMOS is a team of reflective practitioners that also delivers in-depth analysis in the fields of migration, digitalisation, and development cooperation.
