Agenda

How can Europe reduce strategic dependencies in critical technologies, supply chains, cloud, AI, connectivity, and telecommunications?
What role should telecoms play as the backbone of Europe’s digital ecosystems and critical infrastructure?
How can EU policy, public investment, SMEs, entrepreneurs, and large industries better align around common R&D priorities?
What capabilities must Europe develop now to make 6G a foundation for sovereign, resilient, and globally competitive digital infrastructure

Why are we good at developing defence innovations, but often struggling at deploying them at scale?
What is the one change in procurement, policy, or industry that would unlock defence technology deployment at scale?
Why don’t militaries “stockpile” innovation the same way they stockpile ammunition?
How can Europe and NATO scale and export defence technologies commercially while protecting the sensitive know-how and capabilities that give those technologies their strategic value?
Why is cross-border defence tech collaboration in Europe still so limited?

As Europe faces a persistently high cyber threat level, what does “good enough” digital security look like for national critical infrastructure?
Are operators of data centres, fibre networks, subsea cables, and cloud services now part of the national security architecture — and should they be regulated accordingly?
How should operators prepare for the quantum era?
Where is the weakest link today: technology, supply chains, human behaviour, legacy systems, or coordination between institutions and operators?
What role can AI play in defending critical infrastructure, and where does it create new risks for attackers and defenders alike?

How should defence connectivity be structured across satellite, terrestrial and tactical networks?
How much of defence connectivity should rely on civilian infrastructure?
Should governments rely on the market for defence connectivity, or actively ensure backup providers even if it costs more?
Are traditional military communication systems becoming a liability in environments where any signal can be detected and targeted?
Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC) is often discussed as a potential 6G use case. In a defence context, could future networks realistically combine connectivity with sensing functions, and what operational advantages would that create?
How can spectrum be managed when defence connectivity increasingly blends civilian, military, and dual-use networks?

What separates digital transformation projects that deliver measurable results from those that remain isolated pilots?
Which business processes offer the clearest and most immediate value from digitalisation and AI?
Are EU and national funding instruments effectively supporting business digitalisation, or are they too complex and fragmented?
What role should public policy play in accelerating digital transformation without prescribing specific technologies?
How can EU funding, international cooperation and European digital programmes from EDIHs to Horizon Europe projects help Latvian companies scale digital solutions and compete in global markets?

The event co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund project “Support for Business Process Digitalisation in Latvia” (Project No. 1.2.2.1/1/25/I/001) and European Union’s Recovery and Resilience Facility – NextGenerationEU project “Development of a Full-Fledged Innovation System Governance Model and Its Continuous Operation” (project No. 5.1.1.1.i.0/1/23/I/EM/002).

Which digital technologies are already being used in day-to-day port and fleet operations, and which have delivered the most tangible results?
What lessons from major European ports can be transferred to smaller ports and specialized fleet operators in the Baltic region and the other way around?
What should ports, shipping companies and public authorities prioritize over the next five years to accelerate practical maritime digitalization?
