WHO WE ARE

VLK is a Product & Experience Studio, with software engineering at its core

We design, build, and nurture services that need to become more accessible or performant, processes that need to work better, communities that want to participate more, product ideas that need to be tested, working in places that need new capabilities to shape their future.

We use software, data, AI, design, and prototyping when they make things clearer, more usable, more testable, or more useful to the people who need them. Our goal is not technology for its own sake, but working systems that organizations can adopt and people can trust.

PEOPLE
PASSION
IDEAS

We design and build products, services, and experiences for organizations and places in transition, with the people who live, work, and learn through them.

WHAT WE DO

From complex challenges to products, services, and systems people can use. We help organizations, institutions, communities, and emerging ventures move from opportunity to adoption. Our work combines product strategy, software engineering, service design, AI and data, prototyping, and real-world validation.

Find what is worth building. We clarify problems, map users and systems, define opportunities, and shape product or service directions before full development begins.

Le Nostre Missioni

Tre sfide. Una direzione per tutto ciò che costruiamo.

Le nostre missioni sono le sfide a lungo termine sulle quali scegliamo di lavorare - i problemi sui quali siamo convinti valga la pena di focalizzarci per anni, non mesi.

    Education and Talents

    Turning social and economic challenges into capabilities and quality jobs

    We build learning pathways around real projects, so people develop practical skills, professional habits, portfolios, and confidence through work that matters. The focus is not training for its own sake, but growing individual and collective capabilities that can support fairer, more innovative, and more productive industries.

    Tech and Products

    We build technology for industries in transition

    We design software, platforms, AI and data tools, and service prototypes for sectors that need to become more connected, transparent, and adaptive. Our work also includes technology built in the public interest, where the value created is social and not only commercial: tools for health, care, wellbeing, the environment, and civic life, designed with the people they are meant to serve. We turn real operational needs into prototypes, pilots, workflows, and reusable digital infrastructure that can be tested in context and adopted over time.

    Participation and Places

    We make participation practical, local, and useful for decisions

    We design opportunities for people, communities, institutions, and partners to shape the places they live and work in without turning participation into a heavy process. Through labs, events, citizen science, participatory design, community infrastructure, we turn local knowledge into better projects, stronger decisions, and shared stewardship.

The International Hackathon on Active Ageing and Digital Skills in Riga

The international hackathon in Riga, organised within the Erasmus+ project “Active Ageing in the Digital Age”, brought together digital professionals, designers, game designers and Lithuanian students to transform the insights collected across the partner countries into accessible solutions for people over 65. The experience led to three proposals — Bruco, Digital Garden and CareMotion — all focused on making technology simpler, more inclusive and closer to the real needs of older adults. The winning idea, CareMotion, is now entering an advanced prototyping and feasibility study phase.
