Lithuania to open AI regulatory sandbox with €3m EU funding
Ministry of the Economy and Innovation (EIMIN) — €3 million in EU funding will back Lithuania's new AI regulatory sandbox, making it one of Europe's earliest adopters of such a scheme, per the Ministry of the Economy and Innovation. Small and medium enterprises gain a supervised space to build and refine AI tools before commercial launch, with the Innovation Agency and Communications Regulatory Authority (RRT) as watchdogs. The initiative reflects a wider Lithuanian AI policy push toward safe AI system development ahead of market entry.
