We live in the era of the space science revolution, and many phenomena that are science fiction today will become reality in a few years, presenting a significant economic potential for the industry - these are some of the insights that, while serving as a bold encouragement to both startups and representatives of various industries, were voiced during the two-day Baltic's most ambitious science and technology conference "Deep Tech Atelier 2024" held in Riga.
Gathering speakers from the UK, Switzerland, Germany, Luxembourg, France, Finland, Japan, the USA, and other countries, as well as professionals from various industries, students, academics, and other enthusiasts, this year's conference organized by the Investment and Development Agency of Latvia (LIAA) took place for the sixth time, coinciding with the European Space Agency's day.
The event, held across three stages, placed emphasis on bio and space technologies and their significance in human life today. It was a reminder that space does not only mean boarding a spacecraft for interstellar missions.
Representatives of our institute also participated and spoke at the conference: researchers of the Micro and Nano-devices Laboratory and co-founders of CellBox Labs Gatis Mozoļevskis and Roberts Rimša, head of the Optical Materials Laboratory Aleksejs Zolotarjovs and researcher of the Energy Materials Laboratory and member of the board of "NeoHyTech" Ainārs Knoks.
