Kurzeme Business Forum 2026: Who will work in companies in 2035?

27 November and 8–9 December 2026, Ventspils.

Who will work in Latvia's companies in 2035: people, artificial intelligence or robots? Rapid technological development and AI are reshaping the labour market, business models and the skills needed. What will future companies look like? How will the role of people in the workplace change? How can businesses, educational institutions and the public sector prepare for these changes?

We invite entrepreneurs, representatives of education and research institutions, students, public-sector specialists and other interested people to take part in the Kurzeme Business Forum and in COLOURS CoLab.

27 November, Kurzeme Business Forum “Who will work in companies in 2035?”: Latvija Concert Hall, Ventspils, 10:00–17:00. More information and the programme: kurzemesbiznesaforums.lv.
