Vilnius - International Market Visit and Study Tour

Lithuanian International Workshop in Vilnius

22nd -24th April 2026

Vilnius (Lithuania) is in 2026 host for RESTA, the largest international exhibition of construction and housing solutions in the Baltic States. https://www.resta.lt/en

It is the main place to meet once a year for professionals in the fields of construction and interior design, as well as everyone who is planning construction or interested in the latest trends in these fields.

Under the EU funded project Circular South Baltic, we invite 8-10 companies from Denmark, Germany, Poland and Sweden to take part. We particularly invite companies who are working with recycled / reused materials or who are otherwise engaged in the green transition of the building and construction sectors.  

We have developed a programme that allows participants to visit the RESTA Exhibition, to meet Lithuanian and other international companies in a hand-held and organized matchmaking event and to visit selected local companies. 

Please find participant requirements and additional information under the programme below.
