Lithuania-specific requirements
Lithuania is one of the three Baltic states and has positioned itself as a digital innovation hub, particularly in fintech - Vilnius hosts one of the largest concentrations of fintech companies in the EU, with over 200 licensed fintech firms. This makes EAA compliance particularly significant for Lithuania's financial services sector. Lithuania has also invested heavily in digital government through the Information Society Development Committee and maintains a strong e-government infrastructure. The country's Law on Social Integration of the Disabled provides the broader disability rights framework. Lithuania's proactive approach to digital regulation, including its role as a leading EU fintech licensing jurisdiction, suggests enforcement of accessibility requirements will be taken seriously.
