Latitude59 is one of the most important startup and technology conferences in the Nordic-Baltic region. Every year, it brings thousands of startup founders, investors, corporations, and policymakers from dozens of countries around the world to the Estonian capital. Thanks to its focus on international networking, matchmaking, and the presentation of innovative projects, it serves as an ideal gateway for Czech companies into the Estonian and broader European startup ecosystem.
Although Estonia, with a population of roughly 1.36 million, is one of the smallest countries in Europe, it has long been among the world’s leaders in innovation and entrepreneurship. The country is known for its fully digitized public administration, business-friendly environment, and strong support for technology companies. It is precisely thanks to these conditions that one of the world’s most successful startup ecosystems and a number of globally successful companies have emerged here.
For Czech startups, Estonia is attractive not only as a source of inspiration but also as a potential partner for expanding their international operations. The local environment is open to foreign founders, investors, and technology companies, offering a wide range of opportunities for collaboration in areas such as artificial intelligence, fintech, cybersecurity, defense technology, and energy.
The Czech delegation included startups operating in various technology sectors. NABERIUS TECH presented its IRIS solution, which enables the automated creation of photorealistic and geographically accurate digital twins. The startup Remanguys presented technologies focused on remote and tactical drone control, as well as simulation environments for their use. The startup Quantum for Simulations also attracted attention; it uses quantum computing to optimize the use of materials in industry, particularly in aviation, space technology, and the automotive sector.
Representatives from the Czech investment community were also in attendance at the conference, including Seed Starter from Česká spořitelna, Presto Ventures, and Tech Horizons, who had the opportunity to learn about new technology projects and network with investors from across the region.
CzechInvest also represented the Czech startup ecosystem at the conference. Kateřina Rundová, Director of the Technology Development and Startup Incubation Division, presented the program Technology Incubationprogram, which supports the development of innovative technology companies in the Czech Republic. The program focuses, for example, on artificial intelligence, mobility, space technologies, and the creative industries, and is one of the most important tools for supporting startups in the Czech Republic.
Participation in Latitude59 confirmed that events like this represent an important opportunity for Czech startups to expand internationally. In addition to showcasing their own solutions, they allow startups to forge new business relationships, receive feedback from investors, and gain a better understanding of the trends shaping the future of the European technology market.
