"To everybody grinding: there will be hundreds of moments when you think about giving up, but it never really ends until you say these three words—‘I AM DONE!’ So you have just one job: don’t say those words, and eventually, it will pay off."

— Kalev Kärpuk, CEO of Adact

On Day 1 we’re keeping what works – structured stages, incredible speakers, workshops, trendspotting insights – but we’re dialing it up.

On Day 2 the venue transforms into a vibrant space for dialogue, feedback, and connection—think roundtables, startup clinics, and an open stage—where you step in, speak up, and co-create.

  • The Bold Stage: No panels. Just raw, honest exchange and real debate.

  • The Founder Stage: We’ll host Startup Clinics—facilitated deep-dives where early-stage founders bring real challenges and walk away with real feedback.

  • The Future Stage: Jump into roundtable discussions. Pull up a chair, grab a coffee, join a topic, and suddenly—you’re part of the conversation.

Latitude59 kicks off with the Day 0 Opening Events in Noblessner, Telliskivi and all over Tallinn:

  • Thinking in Billions is a key part of Latitude59’s official side program, bringing together the private and public sectors through inspiring success stories. Registration for the event is now open! *For all Latitude59 tickets holders.

“We are very happy and grateful that Boyan Slat agreed to come to Estonia and share his insights with Latitude59 guests on the intersection of innovation, entrepreneurship, and solving environmental challenges. We are also eager to hear Markus Villig’s thoughts on building a mission-driven company and navigating the challenges of rapid growth. I’m sure these topics will strongly resonate with the international startup community, as they are closely tied to our main themes this year — integrity and perspective.”
