• What are the technologies that our speakers are focusing at the moment in their organizations, where should our attention and funding be pointed at?
• In a world of rapid technological change, how can we ensure that digital transformation makes societies safer, not more vulnerable?
• Technology is often seen as a tool for growth, but increasingly it is also becoming a tool for competition and control. How do we navigate the line between global cooperation and strategic autonomy in critical tech sectors?

• What pathways exist to scale innovations from pilot projects into secure, connected, and resilient ports?
• In what ways can regulatory programmes and industry initiatives shape the roadmap toward digital resilience?
• Where are AI and data analytics already transforming port monitoring and predictive maintenance, and what comes next?
• How are digital twins and automation changing terminal operations?

• Which AI applications are already or soon will be delivering economic or public value in the Nordic-Baltic region?
• Should Europe pursue open-source AI—and other alternative approaches—as a strategic path distinct from U.S. and Chinese models?
• What policy tools are most urgently needed to support responsible AI scaling?

• Efficient use of spectrum by mobile and satellite operators while ensuring long-term sustainability and coexistence.
• Sovereignty in a multi-operator, multi-orbit world, addressing the geopolitical risks of over-reliance on a single satellite provider.
• Direct-to-device capabilities and how infrastructure can efficiently serve commercial, governmental, and defense needs.
• Regulatory complexities, including GDPR and global data governance, in an increasingly interconnected satellite ecosystem.

In this exclusive session, the new book “Cybersecurity in Latvia: Forging Resilience amidst Emerging Threats” will be launched. Following the presentation of the book, authors of the book will discuss the main questions:

• How military-grade global cyber threats translate into everyday digital risks, and why collective international efforts are vital to address them
• What it takes to develop a digitally resilient and cyber-aware population
• How to close the skills gap through targeted education and training
• How national strategies can support – rather than bypass – grassroots capabilities
  Why shared responsibility must be more than a slogan in the age of hybrid threats

• Quantum key distribution in public and critical infrastructure, balancing security demands with scalable network integration.
• Integration of quantum tech into telecom infrastructure, driven by advances in computing, control systems, and hardware.
• Software and system challenges in scaling quantum communications and the movement toward a standardized quantum internet.
• Europe’s quantum priorities, focusing on investment needs, realistic innovation paths, and unresolved technical gaps.

• Response to recent incidents such as cable disruptions in the Baltic Sea and drone intrusions near critical sites—distinguishing between accidental and deliberate threats.
• Vulnerabilities across domains, including physical, digital, and aerial infrastructure, and the evolving nature of hybrid threats in the Nordic-Baltic region.
• Response strategies—from prevention and real-time incident management to long-term recovery and resilience planning.
• Addressing emerging electronic threats, including GNSS spoofing and jamming, and their impact on navigation, timing, and the operational safety of critical infrastructure.

• Emerging AI use cases in areas like autonomous agents, tourism, logistics, healthcare, and public service automation — beyond the standard AI narratives.
• Next-gen AI architectures, exploring how cutting-edge models are built, deployed, and scaled.
• The connectivity backbone required to support AI-driven systems—real-time data exchange, edge computing, and intelligent network orchestration.
• The societal shifts that widespread AI autonomy could bring.

This session will be streamed on https://techritory.mitto.app/

• What are emerging use cases in rural areas, and how do they justify the cost of infrastructure?
• What innovative models — beyond traditional subsidies — can make rural 5G commercially viable, and how can policy and regulation support long-term value creation rather than short-term cost recovery?
• Can cross-border collaboration in the region provide scalable models?
• What role do public-private partnerships play in achieving digital inclusion?

• What funding mechanisms are currently available to support digital innovation, and how  accessible are they to startups and growth-stage companies?
• Is Europe’s investment culture too risk-averse to support the creation of global tech giants, and how do we change that mindset?
• Are current funding models prepared for AI-driven startups and deep tech, or do these require entirely new financial instruments?
• How does the digital innovation funding landscape differ between developed regions and emerging markets?

• Has 5G underdelivered—or has the real challenge been the industry’s failure to monetize its capabilities?
• Can upcoming innovations like 5G Advanced, network slicing, and private networks redeem the current narrative around 5G?
• As connectivity expands beyond traditional telecom, has the mobile industry been too complacent in adapting to its new role within the broader digital ecosystem?
