About us
We bring together transport-sector businesses that want to work more innovatively. Since its founding in 2020, TIA has grown to 86 members and become the only association in Lithuania bringing organisations from the transport, logistics, alternative fuels, IT and services sectors together into one shared ecosystem. The Association's aim is to make Lithuania's transport sector the most digitally advanced in Europe – strengthening the competitiveness of the country and its businesses along the way.

We represent our members' interests in the Seimas, and in executive government and EU institutions.

In our working groups we share knowledge, organise events and run international projects, in which TIA members also have the opportunity to take part.

To establish TIA as Lithuania's leading authority on transport innovation, and its most active champion.
History
In five years, TIA has grown from an idea into the only association in Lithuania bringing the transport, logistics, e-mobility, services, IT and education sectors together into a single, shared ecosystem.
2019
The idea is born
The first Transport Innovation Conference brought together players from across the sector and revealed what was missing – a shared space where transport, logistics and IT companies could work together. This is where the idea of setting up an association was born.
2020
The idea becomes an association
The Transport Innovation Association was founded and began operating in 2020. Its establishment was supported by companies from the transport, logistics and IT sectors, who had seen the growing gap between technological progress and the reality of the sector.
2022–2023
The community grows, and Lithuania comes onto Europe's radar
TIA grows to 80 members. In the same year, the Association gains a representative on the DTLF – the European Commission's Digital Transport and Logistics Forum expert group in Brussels – and begins taking part in the eFTI4EU project.
2025–present
86 members. 9 international projects. €2 million in funding.
The Green Transport and Digitalisation working groups are established. TIA members secure €2 million in EU funding through international projects. The Association coordinates transport policy under the EU Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region and is the official EIT Urban Mobility representative in Lithuania. The Transport Innovation Forum reaches 900 delegates from 22 countries.
