BaltCap portfolio company Workland Offices keeps expanding - another modern coworking centre opened added to the network, this time in the heart of Vilnius 👏
Last night, we officially launched our newest fully serviced offices and coworking space at the Flow Business Centre in Vilnius. It was a wonderful evening where creativity, courage, art, and business came together beautifully. As Workland Founder & CEO Indrek Hääl noted during the event, our spaces have always been driving innovation and transformation. Watching the workspace transform into a vibrant club, while retaining its inspiring and collaborative environment, was yet another proof of its incredible flexibility. The evening began with a fantastic fashion show curated by Serge Gandzumian and Indrė Jakaitytė-Gandzumian from Sustainable Fashion Week Vilnius. Guests enjoyed exclusive collections from talented Lithuanian designers Kotryna Kvašytė and Arminas Rimkus, celebrating the beauty of sustainability and creativity. As Laura Panovienė, Head of Operations at Workland Lithuania, shared, every detail in Workland Flow has been thoughtfully designed — even the patterns in the furnishings are handmade, making this space truly unique. Special thanks to the creative team at Noarchitects — Markas Grinevicius, Ona Makuškaitė, and Greta Cerskute — who brought this vision to life. A big thank you to everyone who joined us in celebrating this milestone and helping us achieve it! We’re excited to see the Workland community grow and look forward to what the future holds.

🍁 🍂 The autumn conference season is in full swing, and we’re at Impact Day — the largest #sustainability festival in the Baltics and Nordics. ❔ Why governance matters❔ BaltCap partner Martin Kõdar joined a panel discussion alongside Annika Vait from RASK Attorneys-at-Law, Olavi Lepp from Swedbank Estonia, and Katri Link MCIPR from Tallink Grupp to find an answer. The panel focused the tangible benefits of #governance and regulations for businesses. Key takeaways from the discussion: 💡 Robust governance is essential, serving as a cornerstone for sustainable business success. 💡 Governance is not about policies, but processes and team in action. 💡 95% of governance is boring and invisible, which means, it works and helps to avoid and mitigate risks and the unexpected. 💡 Governance should not be treated as a cost item, but as a prerequisite to avoid unexpected costs. 💡 In the wake of the EU sustainability regulation the challenge is to talk about E, S and G in the same language aka with the same KPIs, so it would make sense and make a difference. 🤗 A big thank you to the organisers at Impact Day for a great event, to RASK Attorneys-at-Law for powering the panel and to all the panelists for great insights!
