The 2nd Annual Baltic Sea Region 5G Ecosystem Forum “5G Techritory" – one of the leading 5G events worldwide was held on 27-29 November 2019 in Riga, Latvia.
Within the framework of the ITU European Regional Initiative on Broadband Infrastructure, broadcasting and spectrum management, adopted by the World Telecommunication Development Conference 2017 (WTDC-17), Buenos Aires, the Forum was organized by the Electronic Communication Office of Latvia in close cooperation with the International Telecommunication Union and is supported by several industry-leading organizations.
The main objective of the Forum was to team up for coordinated action to continue the development of the above-mentioned platform in order to establish the Baltic Sea Region as a role model for building the European Gigabit society. The main Forum took place from November 28-29 with more than 5 value-adding official side events (the first-ever 5G policymakers' hackathon, a 5G key stakeholders' roundtable, the “Meet the 5G Technology” expo and more) involving some of the main global and regional 5G stakeholders. The Forum included high-level business and political debates, and practical business case studies by top-level 5G policymakers, heads of major industry organisations, business leaders, and other high-value stakeholders on the latest progress in 5G global commercialization, its related innovative business models, and potential 5G cross-border projects. A focus was placed on smart mobility, smart city, smart media and entertainment, and Industry 4.0 verticals.
5G Techritory was expected to bring together up to 1000 senior attendees and around 70 senior speakers world-wide including global and regional business leaders, European leading policymakers and government officials, heads of international organizations, investors, business developers, industry experts, content providers, innovation promoters, start-ups, academic and media representatives.
