On April 10^th, Kauno kolegija Higher Education Institution (HEI) Faculty of Business and Faculty of Computing, Engineering, and Technologies invite the academic community and business representatives to the international scientific conference “Business and Technology Conference 2025”, dedicated to the theme of business resilience.

The theme “Business Resilience” was chosen due to its high relevance and importance to modern business, considering the constantly changing global environment, technological challenges, economic fluctuations, and other uncertain situations. Business resilience today is becoming not only the ability to adapt to crisis situations but also the ability to remain competitive and sustainable even in challenging conditions.

In times of global pandemics, climate change, geopolitical crises, and rapid technological development, businesses must seek new ways to maintain their operations, secure supply chains, and ensure long-term growth. Therefore, this unique event will bring together industry leaders, innovators, and academics from around the world who will share their insights and experiences on how businesses can successfully adapt to the constantly changing environment and remain resilient to challenges.

The conference will feature presentations of the latest scientific research, best practices, and real-world examples, revealing the importance of resilience and providing valuable insights into how businesses can build a sustainable future. World-renowned scientists and business representatives will deliver presentations to the event participants.
