We invite you to join the final Fintech Breakfast of the year — “Reaching Latvia’s Fintech Ambition – What will it Take?”
While the new National Fintech Strategy is making its final rounds of confirmation in the government, the general vision is clear. We want to take a moment to discuss how we’re progressing, and what the future roadmap may look like.
The event will highlight the launch of two key resources for understanding and accelerating Latvia’s fintech growth: the new Latvia’s Fintech Observatory — a pilot tool by the Baltic Finance Centre at RTU Riga Business School designed for fintech students and key ecosystem decision-makers to better understand, map, and measure Latvia’s fintech ecosystem and its contribution to the national economy — and the Fintech Pulse 2025/2026 by Fintech Latvia Association, offering the latest data and trends from Latvia’s fintech landscape.
The event will bring together representatives from public institutions, financial sector leaders, entrepreneurs, and academia.
