• evaluate compliance of production facilities and products;
• participate in international industry associations;

• participate in international trade missions organized by the funding recipient and Latvian state officials, both in-person and online;
• organize international sports events and exhibitions.

Additionally, the Latvian Investment and Development Agency (LIAA) will provide consultations through Latvia’s external economic representatives, organize business and export promotion events both in-person and online, support participation in national stands, adaptation of products or services, and provide consultations on export with the aim to establish business contacts abroad.
