Latvia Solves Global Challenges

From Tech Innovation to Global Impact

RigaTech Girls

Since the early nineties, Latvia has experienced a remarkable transformation, driven in part by innovation and advancements in domestically developed technologies. Now, it is poised to contribute to the global community.

The country’s most innovative companies and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) are actively engaged in furthering the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. They apply their expertise and best practices in various projects across the European Eastern Partnership countries, Central Asia, and Africa.

  • Leading the way in sustainable development, Latvia places significant emphasis on innovation and technology sectors such as information and communication technology (ICT), smart mobility and energy, engineering and electronics, as well as biomedicine and the bioeconomy.

Notably, Latvia is excellent in promoting gender equality in the field of science and providing digital public services, with a substantial percentage of its population utilizing eGovernment services. Currently, Latvia demonstrates a strong commitment to supporting Ukraine’s reconstruction efforts by offering significant aid, housing, and educational opportunities both in Ukraine and for Ukrainian refugees within Latvia.

Here are some nice examples of Latvia’s contributions:
