Latvia is at the bottom of the list of innovative development in the EU, even though Latvia has one of the highest growth rates of innovation. That's why we believe Latvia and the Baltics has the potential to become a region, where we could see an influx of modern technology development. With the help and support of our partners, our festival is progressively becoming a more influential platform for inspiration, education and networking opportunities. Entrepreneurs must stay up to date on the latest developments in the tech world in order for them to benefit economic development in Latvia."

We're pleased to continue our partnership with the Digital Freedom Festival, which undeniably has become one of the most significant events in the Baltics concerning Fintech."

 

This year's main topics at Digital Freedom Festival will include Smart Cities and Cybersecurity, Artificial Intelligence, Green Technologies, Fintech and Digital Detox.
