The US Baltic Investment Summit will be held during the 78th session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA 78) in September, and  organized by the BACC. The Summit, encouraging inclusive growth and strengthening economic and strategic relations between the U.S. and three Baltic States - Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania - will include panels with the presidents and representatives of the three Baltic states, US and Baltic business executives, and the press.  

Inga and Elliot sought the cooperation of the government of the City of New York in supporting the Summit, and in inviting speakers and representatives to attend.  As a result of their meeting, it is likely that Eric Adams, the Mayor of the City of New York, will participate in the Summit, along with other senior City officials involved with international trade and policy, and that the City will function as an educational and strategy-generating host to Baltic and US representatives of business and trade policy regarding the growth of Baltic business investment in the US.
