Technology transfer

Technology transfer is supported by various means in Latvia.

• Innovation vouchers are available for SMEs to encourage cooperation between research and industry to develop new products and technologies.
• We can provide information and put you in contact with prototyping facilities and acceleration funds.
• Other activities aimed at boosting technology transfer ecosystem:
  • monitoring publicly funded research projects to identify commercial opportunities;
  • brokerage services for researchers and for those who are interested in commercializing research results;
