Why “eMovement Festival”?
One may wonder why “eMovement festival”, why IGNITIS and why the news portal is placed here 15min?
Ignitis Manager Artūras Bortkevičius unequivocal: “The future of transport is electric, there’s no doubt about that. By developing a leading fast charging network for electric cars not only in Lithuania, but also in all the Baltic countries, we feel it makes sense to provide an opportunity for business customers, partners and the general public to learn first-hand the hottest news in the market of electric cars and their charging.

Therefore, at the “eJudejimo” festival, we invite you to discuss where we are and where we are going, what we can do together to make countries and cities quieter, cleaner and safer to live in. Therefore, I invite everyone to meet in meaningful discussions and activities”, said A. Bortkevičius.
The portal organizing the festival 15min general manager Tom Balzek claims that 15 min group has focused on the topics of ecology and motoring since the beginning of its activities. “We can be happy that electric cars bring these two topics together, because we can finally travel with a smaller footprint on the environment.”
Climate change, the speed of which we can all clearly see, must be the focus of all of our attention right now.
