Autumn 2025 with Lanmer: Science and Start-Ups

We’re back — and we couldn’t be more excited to welcome you to our third annual Autumn 2025 with Lanmer: Science and Start-Ups conference!

This year, we’re switching things up: the main conference will take place only in Tartu — but don’t worry, Tallinn isn’t left out. We’re also coming to the capital with a full day of hands-on workshops the day before.

Over the past two years, this event has grown into something truly special. We’ve loved meeting new faces and welcoming back familiar ones who always bring fresh perspectives and bold ideas.

This year’s conference dives into the biggest questions shaping the future of science-based innovation in Estonia and beyond.

Here’s what’s on the agenda:

“The Future of Medical Devices”

→ Keynote by Peter Dogterom, Ph.D.

“Science & Business in Estonia Today: A Reality Check”

→ Panel Discussion with Rainis Venta, Kent Langel, Mart Toots, Tõnu Esko, additional speakers to be announced

“The Beauty and Burden of Designing Pre-Clinical Studies”

→ Timothy Sirard, MD with Insights from Icosagen

“Do Estonian Startups Have What It Takes to Compete Globally?”

→ Panel Discussion with Mikk Vahtrus (MKM), Mart Maasik (Nordic Science Investments), additional speakers to be announced

“Let’s Reimagine What We Miss in Building Mental Health in High-Growth Start-Up Teams”

→ Talk by Yoad Mick

“How Trend-Driven Focus Can Stall Real Innovation”

→ Expert Talk by Patrick P. Rose

“How to Kill Innovation”

→ Talk by Rainis Venta

“Are We Reinventing the Wheel While the World Moves On?”

→ Critical Talk on Innovation Strategy in Estonia by Mart Loog

We haven’t announced all keynote speakers just yet — but trust us, it’ll be worth the wait.
