🇱🇻🇯🇵 Innovation is becoming an increasingly important dimension of the Latvia–Japan strategic partnership.
As Ambassador-designate Kaspars Krumholcs begins his assignment in Japan, one of his ambitions is to deepen cooperation between Latvia and Japan in innovation, science and high-value industries.
“Latvia is increasingly recognised not only for its rich culture and beautiful nature, but also for world-class research, deep-tech entrepreneurship and globally competitive companies. Japan's excellence in science, technology and manufacturing makes it a natural partner. I see tremendous potential to connect Latvian innovation with Japanese research, industry and investment, and look forward to helping build those partnerships.”
