Latitude59
About
Latitude59 is an event organizer that brings together the tech ecosystem through large-scale gatherings. Working across sector-agnostic domains, the organization maintains a physical presence primarily in Tallinn and Nairobi. Active since holding its first recorded gathering in 2025, it focuses on connecting emerging technology markets in Europe and Africa through focused programming and international dialogue.
What they run
The organization primarily produces major conferences, having staged one past event with six more upcoming across its total of seven gatherings. Activities center on recurring flagships, notably pitch competitions and conferences in Nairobi scheduled for December 2026, followed by the Latitude59 conference series returning to Tallinn in May 2027.
Who attends
Given the sector-agnostic conference formats, the audience comprises startup founders, technology operators, and investors seeking cross-border exposure. Participants include early-stage entrepreneurs targeting pitch competitions to secure funding, alongside regional ecosystem builders operating across both the Estonian and Kenyan innovation corridors.
