Latitude59 reschedules and returns in 2022 We are delighted to announce that Latitude59 will be happening on 19-20 May 2022 in Tallinn, Estonia at Kultuurikatel, when we will be celebrating our 10th anniversary. Latitude59, the Estonian flagship tech and startup event, will return onsite in Kultuurikatel, Tallinn on 19 – 20 May 2022 after having been canceled last year.

We will have to wait a little longer but it will be worth the wait. All tickets that were already bought for 2021 are automatically valid for the 2022 edition. But if you have not registered yet, sign up now! The world is changing rapidly and so are the opportunities and challenges we face in the ongoing pandemic, but also from climate change, in work environments, mental and physical health, work-life balance, the list continues. But one thing is clear: when nothing is certain, anything is possible; and we’ve seen some amazing tech solutions coming out during that time. Last year was a crazy successful year in the startup world. Even just in Estonia, we witnessed several historical moments like Wise becoming the first Estonian decacorn, Bolt still going strong with massive investments, some of the companies exited and startups raised over 950 million euros! And no doubt, there will continue to be huge changes across the whole startup world. But now more than ever we see how important it is to broaden the discussion and take actions about topics like sustainability, diversity, impact, but also how to connect science and technology, and how corporations can work together with startups and venture funds. Therefore, Latitude59 2022 will be about PURPOSE and INCLUSION! Latitude59’s new team and extended family will welcome 2500 attendees, including more than 300 investors and 700 startup representatives, but also the government officials, corporations, and the key players in the startup ecosystems.
