Venue: 
Riga, Latvia

The Baltic Dynamics conference is an initiative of the Baltic Association of Science/Technology Parks and Innovation Centres - BASTIC - and has been held annually since its inception in 1996. The conference venue is rotated between the Baltic States - Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. In 2010, it is Latvia's turn again and the conference will be held in the country's capital Riga, the largest city in the Baltic States.

In recent years it is not only the three Baltic States that have shown dynamic development in the fields of innovation and entrepreneurship. "Innovation links" between the countries around the Baltic Sea have been established and successful economic initiatives developed.

The conference organisers invite all involved with the dynamic innovation and entrepreneurship development - leaders of innovative companies, managers of science/technology parks and business incubators, public authorities responsible for innovation in the region, venture capital organisations, etc. - to present and discuss initiatives to make innovation strategies and policies happen.
