Over the past three weeks I traveled through Japan and Europe, visiting several software startup accelerators — plenty worth sharing from the trip. Along the way, I made a special stop in Lithuania, a country most people rarely visit, to see its startup scene firsthand.

The biggest story of the past few months has probably been the tariff war, with every outlet debating its economic fallout. As it happens, the information services field I work in is one of America's great strengths — an area where the US runs a huge surplus.
