Applications will be accepted from Latvian residents or organizations registered in Latvia. The applications should come directly from the applicants themselves, rather than as nominations on behalf of another entity - so you will need to be up-front in selling yourself in true American style rather than being a modest and retiring Latvian and waiting for someone else to notice how deserving you are.
Innovations will be evaluated in accordance with the selection criteria such as innovativeness, impact, applicability, collaboration, project maturity and value creation.
Full details and an application form are available at the website of the American Chamber of Commerce in Latvia.
