The team visiting will be:

• Laura Strovalde - Deputy Director General - Director of Investment Promotion and Business Growth Department for the Latvian Investment and Development Agency
• Dace Vanaga - Deputy Director for Strategic Investment Projects for the Latvian Investment and Development Agency
• Kristine Vainovska Twidwell - Executive Director for the Latvian American Chamber of Commerce and Trade Representative in the US for the Latvian Investment and Development Agency

Latvia is increasingly positioning itself as a highly agile NATO- and EU-aligned partner for advanced manufacturing and dual-use innovation. The country offers competitive operating costs, strong engineering talent, access to NATO DIANA and EU innovation funding mechanisms, and growing government support for defense and dual-use product localization and manufacturing partnerships. We believe there is strong long-term potential for U.S. companies looking for an innovation-friendly gateway into the EU and Baltic/Nordic region.

Our goal for this visit is very much a two-way partnership approach: helping Latvian companies build meaningful U.S. connections while also positioning Latvia as a strategic long-term partner for U.S. companies.
