Over 400 participants from 35 countries gathered in Riga, Latvia last September to catch the Baltic technology wave. The 12th international conference, Baltic Dynamics 2007, recognized Baltic technology achievements and fostered new partnerships to further develop their fast-growing and dynamic tech industry.
