Priorities to promote innovation activity in Latvia are tightly related with the challenge to strengthen weakest chain links in the Latvian innovation system. This includes activities for improvement of scientific activity, development of necessary R&D infrastructure, creation of conditions for improved technology transfer, strengthening ties between researchers and entrepreneurs to boost the commercialization of research results, supporting the expansion of innovative and technology-oriented companies as well as offering new financial instruments (seed and venture capital) for companies, especially innovative SMEs.
