Dr. Nina Linde, Director of the Institute of Economics of the Latvian Academy of Sciences, the brain behind organizing the international economic forum said “At a time when the world is grappling & witnessing with serious economic challenges, gender inequality, Cold War-era system, territorial acquisition against the territorial integrity & sovereignty or political independence of any state, there is an urgency for open innovations to debate crucial issues & find solutions for  international economic cooperation. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has radically changed NATO’s security environment. The renewed sense of threat is perhaps most acute among the three Baltic members―Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia―which have long been vulnerable to Russian aggression. For a third of the global economy, 2023 is going to be a tough year as the main engines of global growth – the United States, Europe and China – all experience weakening activity. The aim of the VI Economic Forum is to key explore principles such as multilateralism, inclusive growth, sustainable development, and digitalization in the context of global governance and international cooperation. The discussions & deliberations at the forum will be the first serious holistic Economic resilience agenda that will prepare a blueprint for the vision 2027. Global conflict, economic challenges in the Baltic States, energy uncertainty, food shortages, accelerating inflation, severe climate & environmental challenges are top of the agenda at the VI International Economic forum. I strongly believe that there is a great need for collaboration: all stakeholders have to play their part in overcoming the threat and consequences of the present economic, geo political challenges & foster an era of co-operation, free trade & commerce & accelerate the pace of innovations in all sectors”.

The International Economic Forum is being held for the sixth year. The event is organized by the Institute of Economics of the Latvian Academy of Sciences.
