As part of a project funded by the EU Recovery and Resilience Facility, we have developed a set of courses that offer holistic FinTech business development education<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>

The FinTech Business Education course content is based on stakeholder feedback and gap analysis. We integrate regulatory and business mindsets, addressing the need for a balanced perspective, crucial for long-term business success.<\/p>\n<\/div>

The new courses have been piloted in Spring 2024, and since Autumn 2024 already 72 students of the Riga Business School have completed one or several of these courses.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
