A nation’s destiny is forged in its centers of excellence. The race for relevance in the 21st century is not a contest of size, but of strategic velocity and sovereign capability. This is a doctrine for a nation that chooses to build its own future—not merely participate in someone else's.
For a nation positioned at the geopolitical crossroads, the primary threat is pull of external gravity. It is the immense, silent pull of larger powers that seeks to define our economy, dictate our strategic choices, and relegate our future to that of a dependency—a buffer state or a branch office.
This is the Gravity of Giants. It manifests as brain drain to larger economies, as critical industries dependent on foreign capital, and as energy policy dictated by the whims of hostile neighbors. It is the condition of being a pawn on a chessboard not of your own making. The result is a nation perpetually reactive, its potential capped by the ambitions of others. To be successful but not sovereign is the most dangerous illusion of all.
To defy this gravity requires more than analysis. It requires architects of national capability. The Lithuanian Frontier is a private, non-partisan strategic initiative bringing together the talent required to forge this new path.
Our sole objective is to produce a concrete, actionable National Advancement Doctrine. This public manifesto will identify 3 critical technology sectors where Lithuania can achieve strategic autonomy and global leadership. This doctrine will serve as a clear blueprint for founders, investors, and policymakers.
