Latitude59 CEO Liisi Org shared that the event’s mission is to bring together startup communities from around the world. “As we travel the globe to build bridges, support startups, and elevate Estonia’s presence, we increasingly realise that technology has the power to drive positive change and that startups can change the world. But meaningful change must come with integrity and perspective. We can’t truly be proud of our impact if we lose sight of the bigger picture, and we must remember – there is no ‘one-size-fits-all’ solution,” Org explained.

Taking place on 21–23 May 2025, Latitude59 2025 is set to be bigger, bolder, and more influential than ever, showcasing the most exciting global tech and startup trends. “Expect top-tier speakers, dynamic discussions, and an electrifying atmosphere. We will bring together the best minds from around the world,” Org promised.

One of the main goals of Latitude59 is to showcase the power of the startup community. Org emphasised that Latitude59 is evolving into a truly international platform that connects and supports local initiatives, helping them scale. “We are building a Global Village – a space where local initiatives can expand, connect, and amplify their impact. Estonia’s startup success story has inspired this vision, and our goal is to bring startup communities together, initiating and leading discussions on globally important topics.”

The 12th edition of Latitude59, held in Tallinn in 2024, attracted over 3,500 attendees, including more than 900 startup representatives and over 700 investors. The event featured 195 speakers, 40% of whom were women. In total, participants came from 65 countries worldwide. Latitude59 also made history by expanding to Singapore and hosting its second satellite event in Nairobi, Kenya.
