Antons Adamovičs, the EIT Community Officer (ECO) of the new EIT Community RIS Hub in Latvia, presented the EIT Community’s plans for 2024 at a launch event in early March (below) outlining how the EIT will support initiatives that foster the development of innovators in Latvia, including entrepreneurs, scientists, VCs, startups, private ecosystem builders, public organisations and academia.
“We have kick-started a groundbreaking effort to develop a gravity center and align all the ecosystem around importance of developing knowledge-based economy as a strategy for Latvia. With the support of the EIT, we will put energy into developing approaches and propose instruments and other tools (both financial and non-financial) to improve the ecosystem while continuously caring about quality of opportunities for the individuals that are entering the innovation ecosystem and ensuring it provides the necessary tools at various stages of development of businesses,” said Adamovičs.
The EIT Regional Innovation Scheme (EIT RIS) was launched in 2014 to enhance innovation performance in countries with ‘emerging’ or ‘modest’ innovation scores according to the European Innovation Scoreboard.
