Our hearts reach out to Europe's most resilient startup ecosystem and to the people at its core. That's why, as long as the crisis calls for it, Ukrainian startup founders can apply for an 80% discount code to join the next Latitude59. Each year, we welcome the official Ukrainian delegation at our event in Tallinn and keep seeking out Ukrainian startups to showcase at Latitude59. 


In 2024, we elevated our efforts by raising funds to help send a NAFO Truck 2.0 to the Ukrainian battlefield. A total of almost €6000 was contributed by generous donators - our warmest gratitude goes to everyone who added to the cause! As the need for defence efforts has not cooled down in 2025, we've opened the donation link once again. Every little bit helps!
