Dear Minister,

We would like to invite you to attend the European Forum “Future of Work in the Age of AI”, taking

place on 16 March 2026 in Riga, Latvia, at Hanzas Perons.

Europe’s workforce is evolving fast. Artificial intelligence, demographic shifts, and geopolitical changes

are transforming how Europeans learn and work. These shifts have far-reaching implications not only

for productivity and competitiveness of European countries, but also for social cohesion, economic

security, and long-term resilience across Europe and its partner countries.

The Forum is the first interdisciplinary event of its kind in Europe, bringing together 700+ decision-

makers from business, government, public employment services, academia, and civil society. The goal

is to define together what it takes to build a competitive, sustainable, and secure workforce that is

ready for an AI-powered future.

Already confirmed speakers include:

● Roxana Mînzatu, Executive Vice-President for Social Rights and Skills, Quality Jobs and

Preparedness at European Commission;

● Edgars Rinkēvičs, President of the Republic of Latvia;

● Evika Siliņa, Prime Minister of the Republic of Latvia;

● Annette Kroeber-Riel, VP for Government Affairs & Public Policy in Europe at Google;

● Soon-Joo Gog, Fellow at Centre for Skills-First Practices, Singapore University of Social

Sciences - Institute for Adult Learning;

● Valeriya Ionan, Advisor to the First Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine on Innovation,

Digitalization and Global Partnerships;

● and many more.
