In 2023, the Investment and Development Agency of Latvia (LIAA) started providing aid to Latvian entrepreneurs to promote the digitisation of processes applied in business activities. With the support of the available grants, entrepreneurs can digitise various processes applied in entrepreneurial activity (administrative, HR, resources, ICT, etc.). The implemented digitisation projects will help boost the competitiveness and productivity of Latvian entrepreneurs.

The aid is reserved for the development, implementation, or transformation of digital products, services, applications, and processes.

Two types of grants are available:

• Small grant: up to EUR 9,999 (aid in the amount of 100%)
• Large grant: up to EUR 100,000 (aid in the amount of 30–60%)

Business aid is provided through financing from the Recovery and Resilience Facility, and LIAA cooperates with the European Digital Innovation Centre (EDIC) within the scope of implementation of this programme.
