Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania have been among the most dynamic countries in the EU in recent years. They are characterized by particularly strong economic growth, making them attractive markets for German companies. The information and communications technology, energy efficiency, chemicals, food processing, transport and logistics, and biotechnology sectors offer particularly significant growth potential.
Learn how you can take advantage of these promising business opportunities at our event. There, you'll find comprehensive information from experts from the German-Baltic Chamber of Commerce (AHK), political representatives, and practical reports from companies. Parallel workshops on digitalization, IT, startups, and industrial manufacturing with a focus on metal and woodworking, as well as the opportunity for one-on-one discussions with Baltic entrepreneurs from the Baltic states and individual consultations with AHK experts, round out the program.
A list of participating Baltic companies – which is continuously updated – and the opportunity to register for B2B discussions will be available here from 6 February:
