NATO's tiny but mighty frontline economies | Business Beyond

Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania collectively share a more-than 1000-kilometre-long border with Russia and Belarus. Having regained their independence after the collapse of the Soviet Union some three decades ago, these three small countries have developed innovative and business-friendly economies. But as the war in Ukraine drags on, their position - right on NATO`s frontline with Russia – once again leaves them facing an existential challenge. In this edition of Business Beyond, we zoom in on three industries: cybersecurity, energy and defense, and assess how the Baltics have responded to and adapted their economies in the face of Russian aggression. From cyber attacks on critical infrastructure to eliminating dependence on Russian gas and preparing for a possible invasion, this is the story of how three nations are fighting for their future on several fronts.
