• 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?

• 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?

• Will 6G bring new features that operators can monetize? Or use for better network economics?
• What will be the economic impact 6G after 2030 in terms of additional GDP?
• Will 6G benefit more the mobile value chain or productivity of adopters
• Will 6G create social benefits in terms of new jobs and fiscal benefits?
