Baltic Defense Roadshow
Join us for the Baltic Defense Roadshow, a half-day showcase bringing together leading defense tech companies and stakeholders from Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania to share firsthand insights from the front lines of European security.
This is a rare opportunity to connect directly with the innovators shaping the future of European defense, alongside a curated audience of venture capital investors, Department of War representatives, U.S.-based defense startups, and other key players in the ecosystem.
Whether you're looking to invest, partner, or simply understand where the technology is headed next, this is where those conversations start.
