From breakthrough startups to policy makers reshaping digital governance, Latitude59 delivers the stories that matter. Based in Estonia – Europe’s most unicorn-dense ecosystem – we bring together voices from 70+ countries where the global tech conversation actually happens. In 2025, the main conference days provided 5 stages with 200 speakers and gathered 100 media representatives.
Over the years, Latitude59 has been visited by publications such as BBC, EuroNews, Bloomberg, Forbes, Sifted, Tech.eu, Nordic Fintech Magazine, Deutsche Welle, Handelsblatt, YLE, and others, to lead discussions on topics like the future of tech, education, humanity, defence, AI, digital government, and living environment.
This year, Latitude59 has chosen The Global Village Experiment as its main theme, testing the hypothesis that the most valuable connections happen when ecosystems collide.
Accreditation for Media Tickets is open. Come & gather stories from fast-rising founders and international thought leaders at Latitude59 2026!

Journalists, editors, and reporters accredited to Latitude59 will receive access to the event, including main program at Kultuurikatel, all public side events, on-site media room for interviews and official press conference. Please note that prior registration for events is often required (including the press conference) and separate terms may apply for closed events.
It’s not about the number of people present, it’s what you can learn from them and how big our potential impact can be. We value quality over quantity – that includes our choice of speakers, community leaders and key guests. They are ahead in the game and they play the global field.
Latitude59 is full of digital innovation, spanning across all fields of society and all levels of governance. For years, Estonia has been a role model for the global tech scene. We’d love to show you why!
We are bringing founders and ecosystem builders from around the world to Estonia, positioning Tallinn as a gateway to the New Nordics. Latitude59 opens up the networks, operating models and hard-earned lessons of the New Nordics to the world, while bringing ecosystems from Africa to Asia to Tallinn.
Latitude59 Press Conference offers a chance to meet Estonia’s high-profile government officials and some of the key players from the Estonian startup ecosystem.
