Although its territory reaches only 65 square kilometres, Latvia is a country that goes big on technologies and provides a rich environment for start-ups and young businesses. Our colleague, Lilita Beķere from Numeri, elaborates on the Latvian business environment, its powerful workforce, the advantages of their company and why they joined the Accace Circle business community.
What do you consider to be the biggest opportunities on the Latvian market at the moment? What is the best thing about Latvia?
Not only has Latvia been historically known to be a place of spectacular scenery, but also has and currently is recognized as a well-positioned export and tech country (e.g. the historical VEF and Alfa factory in Riga, port cities such as Liepāja, Riga, Ventspils and booming regional science-based and tech talent hubs nowadays). The environment is especially fruitful for new and bubbling businesses, ideas, investments and start-ups, due to the highly digitally educated labour force and the society’s vast bilingual and trilingual knowledge, which steers the whole country towards rapid multicultural digitalization and technological innovation. Latvian business incubators are ever-so hungry for more and more fresh solutions, thus entering the market with novel products and services or different variations for current products and services is simple – the establishment of a company is fast, cheap and digitalized, which sets a successful soil for various local and global entrepreneurships – communication with the state institutions is electronic and the advantage of outsourcing accounting, payroll and HR administrative services means that not a single accountant, payroll accountant or HR specialist has to be employed, and the company management can focus on developing its business and relationships with core employees.
