The MELT Innovation Forum 2025, the tenth overall, will be held at Tallinn’s Kultuurikatel on 15 April. This year’s event will focus on business growth, and take a closer look at the opportunities for local companies to succeed in foreign markets. Top influencers from Estonia and around the world will speak at the event.

The main theme of the Innovation Forum this year is how to take a local company to the global market, and increase exports. The event will feature more than 20 company representatives and experts in the field of exports.

The keynote speaker for the forum will be Christopher Lyrhem, who has worked in equity research, portfolio management, and future & strategy for the past 16 years. He is currently the Chief Future Officer at the Sircular investment research firm.

Lyrhem’s review, “Regenerate the Economic Machine”, weaves together technology, economics, culture, politics, and finance. His presentation, “Regenerating the Global Economy”, focuses on, among other things, the cross-border nature of innovation and operating in global markets, and presents strategies for scaling business models, and successfully operating in foreign markets.

Other speakers include Mihkel Nestor (SEB analyst), Oliver Mets (board member of the Estonian Machinery Industry Association), Tõnu Väät (CEO of the Estonian E-commerce Association), Kristi Lember (business developer), and Michael Burich (founder of Maisons Beast).
