Latitude59 will expand to Africa
In 2023, Latitude59 will launch a satellite event that lands us in the bubbling tech scene of Nairobi!
Why Kenya, you might ask? With 50 million people, loads of ambition and fast-growing tech-savviness, this country has a lot of potential to become the next up-and-coming startup country on the global radar. Our goal is to support the growth, impact, and global recognition of the local startup ecosystem, tech talent, and business environment.
During the past decades, Estonia has established its position and impact in the global tech scene. We’ve raised more unicorns per capita than any other nation in the world and tech innovation is integrated across all levels of our society. As we head to Kenya, we’re excited to partner up with the Estonian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and spin off from their strategy of building bridges between the Estonian and African tech ecosystems.
Latitude59 Kenya Edition is a platform for local founders to find valuable connections, discuss innovation, and overcome obstacles with the support and know-how of the global community. The event might last a day but we know its impact and seeds of cooperation will echo for the years to come!
Join us on December 6 as we’re taking the next step in Latitude59’s vision of building bridges in the international tech and startup community. Wish to join forces?
Contact us at dolores@latitude59.ee or info@latitude59.ee.
Journalists, editors, and reporters accredited to Latitude59 will receive full access to the event, including Media Dinner in the evening of May 22, the main program on May 23-24, the on-site media room with silent interview booths, and all the official side events from May 22-24. Please note that prior registration is often required (including Media Dinner) 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!
If you’re visiting Latitude59 2023 with an official Media Accreditation, you’re welcome to use the desginated Media Room for focused work, writing, publishing, or doing interviews. The area has complimentary coffee, Silen booths and tables and chairs for interviews. If you have any questions or special requests, members of our volunteer team and our Head of PR will help you out. To book the Silen booth for interviews, please contact mirjam@latitude59.ee
The next Latitude59 will take place on May 22-24, 2024 in Tallinn, Estonia.
