Dear Minister Keldo,

On behalf of the German-Baltic Chamber of Commerce (AHK), I am delighted to invite you to participate in the German-Baltic Digital Summit 2026, taking place on September 16^th, 2026, in Berlin as part of the BigBang KI Festival. We would be honoured to welcome you — together with your ministerial colleagues from Lithuania and Latvia — as a guest of honour and panelist.

Your participation would highlight Estonia’s leadership in digital innovation, strengthen high-level political and business ties, and reinforce the Baltic contribution to Europe’s digital infrastructure and development.

For nearly a decade, AHK has been actively promoting Estonia’s e-Estonia concept in Germany. Your presence would greatly amplify these efforts and open valuable doors for future cooperation.

Why this visit matters:

• Berlin is a leading hub for IT and AI development, firmly established as a centre for digital innovation.

• The BigBang KI Festival is a high-level conference attracting up to 11.000 participants and entrepreneurs to discuss the latest developments in AI Technology

• You will be able to hold a 10-15 Minute Keynote speech and participate in a panel discussion with other German or European Ministers

• You have the possibility for bilateral talks with attending German politicians, such as Dr. Karsten Wildberger – Minister of Digitalisation and State Modernisation, Dr. Markus Söder – Minister President of Bavaria, Carsten Schneider – Minister of Environment and Climate Protection, Verena Hubertz – Minister of Housing, Urban Development and Construction in the context of the BigBang KI Festival

• Exclusive VIP Ticket to the BigBang KI Festival which includes entry to a VIP Dinner

• The Digital Summit forms part of a three-day delegation visit with around 25 Baltic IT company representatives, including company visits on September 14^th and 15^th, and culminates with the Digital Summit on the 16^th — though you are, of course, welcome to join for the summit day alone.

The German-Baltic Digital Summit is an AHK initiative designed to deepen digital and economic cooperation between Germany and the Baltic states. As global frontrunners in digitalization, the Baltic states have much to showcase — and this summit is a unique opportunity to present Baltic expertise and solutions to German and European challenges. If you wish, we would be pleased to arrange meetings for you with key German politicians in the context of the BigBang KI Festival.

The German-Baltic Digital Summit has already been successfully held in Dortmund, Düsseldorf, Munich, Lübeck, and Rostock, establishing itself as a recognized platform for dialogue and cooperation between Germany and the Baltic states.

Please find attached the current draft programme of the Digital Summit.

Should you have any questions or need additional information, please feel free to contact Tarmo Mutso, Office Manager Estonia, at [email protected] or by phone at +372 5 022 055.

We would be honoured to welcome you in Berlin and look forward to your participation in this important event.

Yours sincerely,
