The new site was revealed at the annual export excellence forum and awards in central Riga on October 19. It is supported by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The ministry's parliamentary secretary, Zanda Kalnina-Lukševica said: "This digital platform is our gift to Latvia for its centenary. These are stories about 100 companies, the achievements, strengths and capabilities of the best-performing exporters in Latvia. Among them are both the major export stories that have emerged since the regaining of Latvia's independence, and relatively new companies that have shown their strength in recent years. Each of them has contributed to the image of Latvia."
