At the end of September, the Investment and Development Agency of Latvia (LIAA) plans to start accepting applications for a support program for science-intensive start-ups, providing support of up to €150,000 with 50% support intensity.
Applications will be accepted until the funding for the support program is exhausted. The total available funding is EUR 1,500,000.
The support is intended for companies registered in Latvia (science-intensive start-ups) to commercialize research results developed in scientific institutions, while ensuring the continuity of technology transfer (de minimis support).
Micro, small and medium-sized commercial entities, small and medium-sized capitalization companies, as well as medium-sized capitalization companies and large commercial entities will be eligible to apply for support, provided that they cooperate with micro (micro), small or medium-sized enterprises in research and innovation activities.
To learn more about the support program for science-intensive start-ups, LIAA invites Latvian businesses to an online seminar, which will take place on September 25 at 2:00 p.m. The link to connect is available here.
If you are unable to connect to the seminar, a recording of the seminar will be made available on business.gov.lv.
More information about the conditions for receiving support and how to apply is available on the state platform for business development business.gov.lv.
