In my opinion, KTU is one of the strongest technical universities in Lithuania, educating specialists with a solid foundation in robotics, artificial intelligence and automation. KTU students are often practical, innovative, creative, entrepreneurial and technologically advanced. I can say that because we have had a number of students who have done their internships with us, and some of them have continued their careers with our company.
