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 recent years it is not only the three Baltic States that have shown dynamic development in the fields of innovation and entrepreneurship. "Innovation links" between the countries around the Baltic Sea have been 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 responsible for innovation in the region, venture capital organisations, etc. - to present and discuss initiatives to make innovation strategies and policies happen.

The following topics will be under discussion:

• Sustainable Development of Innovation System on National, Regional and Local level

• Technology Transfer as a Catalyst for Efficient Knowledge Flow from Knowledge Creators to Business
  Instruments to Support Added Value Production (Science/Technology Parks, Technology/Innovation Centres, Business Incubators, Technology Oriented Business Support Programmes, Science Communication, Financing Innovation, etc.)
• The Role of Cooperation (Associations, Networks, Clusters, etc.) in the Development of Innovation System
