Entries for Latitude59’s pitch competition are open. Surely it needs no introduction but for those not in the know Latitude59 is Estonia’s flagship tech event - a chance to, at the very least, pitch on stage here could open some doors for your startup. It takes place on 20–22 May in Tallinn at Kultuurikatel.
In 2025, a total of €675,000 was invested through the Latitude59 pitch competition, backed by EstBAN, LatBAN and LitBAN. Investments of €175,000–€250,000 were secured by Estonian green energy solutions developer MarkeDroid, Latvia’s construction startup Adventum Tech and Lithuanian defence tech company Luna Robotics.
