Techritory Forum 2025

Join us for the public launch of the newly signed Memorandum of Understanding that establishes the joint consortium “TEAM LATVIA DIGITAL” — a collaborative initiative uniting Latvia’s leading digital, innovation, and technology stakeholders under one future-oriented vision.

This event marks the official start of the TEAM LATVIA DIGITAL cooperation, which aims to strengthen Latvia’s global visibility, export capacity, and influence in the international market. Through joint efforts and shared branding, this partnership will empower Latvian companies to collaborate and compete more effectively, particularly in EU-funded innovation projects.

In an era where geopolitical dynamics demand robust digital infrastructure, this session spotlights how private 5G networks are becoming foundational—not only for industrial sectors like manufacturing and logistics but also for defense, public safety, and national resilience. Join us to explore real-world 5G implementations delivering tailored, secure connectivity, and delve into the emerging “dual-use” imperative—where civilian networks must be designed with defense readiness, spectrum agility, and emergency resilience in mind.

The discussion will cover secure architectures, spectrum sharing strategies, and the evolving role of private networks under national and alliance-level security frameworks.
