Dear Listeners,

The Riga Security Forum is an important platform for all those interested in transatlantic cooperation, European security issues, and their foundation — strong democracies and resilient economic structures that serve as the backbone of the security of the European Union, NATO, and partner states. 
The 2025 Riga Security Forum will not only address strategic security challenges but will also highlight the importance of industry, science, and economic processes in strengthening security. The key insights of this project will be relevant not only to security and foreign policy experts and policymakers, but also to the private sector, whose activities are increasingly shaped by geopolitical processes. The resilience and effectiveness of the security sector depend directly on the ability of societies and entrepreneurs to adapt, cooperate, and develop in the face of challenges.
On behalf of the organisers, I invite everyone to make use of the insights and ideas offered by the 2025 Riga Security Forum to jointly strengthen our security, economy, and democratic stability!

About the Riga Security Forum 

Riga Security Forum aims to gather key international policymakers, industry leaders, as well as military and civilian experts to discuss events, trends, opportunities, and challenges lying ahead for the international community. In various formats, we will discuss both "conventional" security dimension, including the question such as European security environment, transatlantic security, relations with Russia, and China's growing influence, as well as "unconventional" security challenges, such as information warfare, etc.


Every week, from October until December, we will provide you with a brand new podcast session in audio and video format, both in English and Latvian. Listen to our podcasts here, on our social media accounts, YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Podcast platforms.

We look forward to developing an excellent platform for exchanging ideas on security issues, promoting mutual understanding and dialogue between policymakers and implementers, think tanks, academics, and the wider public.
