“Latvia’s diaspora is not only an integral part of our country’s story, but also a vital resource in shaping its future. The knowledge, professional experience, international networks and global perspective gained abroad can help Latvia become more competitive, innovative and open to new opportunities.

#esiLV’s mission is to connect people, ideas and expertise, fostering practical cooperation between Latvia and its diaspora. We want this collaboration to translate into joint projects, investment, knowledge transfer and solutions that strengthen Latvia’s economy and society.”

(Ieva Jākobsone Bellomi, Chair of the Board and Co-founder of #esiLV)

The objective of movement #esiLV is to gather and represent Latvian diaspora enterpreneurs, professionals, investors and researchers and to build bridges of cooperation and knowledge transfer with partners in Latvia, in order to facilitate sustainable and dynamic development of Latvia and its regions.

 Objectives:

• Advancing through cooperation: in your business, profession, science and innovation
• Reinvest in Latvia: knowledge transfer, funds, human capital

The organisation houses several thematic workshops gathering nationbranding and international communication professionals, scientists and researchers (#ziniLV), international governance professionals (#risiniLV), arts and creative industries (#radiLV), healthcare administration professionals, and smaller working groups on climate, transport and energy, finance and AML. A major pillar of organisation’s work is enterpreneurship – Latvian SMEs abroad, business development and export facilitation. Strategy and priorities are set by the board consisting of five members.

#esiLV has strong partnerships with public institutions, nongovernmental sector, universities and municipalities in Latvia. #esiLV is established in Valmiera, a bustling regional hub of business, innovation and creativity, but our reach is global – through each and every one of our members and followers.
