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.

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
