Visitors will have the opportunity to explore:
- modern infrastructure, including cleanrooms and laboratories
- photonics microchips and quantum photonics
- battery research and smart materials
- Microfluidics and “organ-on-chip” technologies
University of Latvia (LU)
The University of Latvia invites you to an event that will provide an opportunity to get acquainted with Latvia's deep tech ecosystem and research excellence in person. This experience is designed to foster meaningful collaborations between academia, industry, and investors, while highlighting the University of Latvia's potential as a strategic partner in the development of deep tech innovations in the Baltic region.
The event will take place from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM at the University of Latvia, Jelgavas Street, Riga. Pre-registration is required to participate. here.
The program includes:
- Excursion through the most modern laboratories (chemistry, optometry, physics, atomic physics)
- strategic meeting with technology transfer experts
- seek innovation and acceleration programs
This is an opportunity to build contacts and understand how academic knowledge is transformed into market-applicable solutions.
Riga Technical University (RTU)
Investors, startup founders, and biotech companies are invited to join a dynamic visit exploring how science and innovation drive real-world solutions and business opportunities.
The event will take place from 1:30 PM to 4:45 PM at Riga Technical University's Science and Innovation Center. telpā “Mushroom”, Ķīpsalas Street 6A, Riga. Pre-registration is required to participate. here.
The program includes:
- Networking with researchers
- RTU Presentations and Partnership Opportunities
- demonstrations of scientific research
- Laboratory visits (biomedicine, nano-engineering, environmental biotechnology, materials science)
Latvian Institute of Organic Synthesis (OSI)
The Latvian Institute of Organic Synthesis is the leading drug discovery and development center in the Baltics—with 18 created and clinically implemented drugs, decades of experience, and full-cycle competence from molecule design to preclinical studies. It is an environment where cutting-edge science meets industrial thinking.
The excursion will take place from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM at the Latvian Institute of Organic Synthesis, Aizkraukles Street 21, Riga. Prior registration is required to participate. here.
During the event, you will have the opportunity to:
- Meet OSI and its researchers in an informal setting
- Visit OSI's modern laboratories:
- Structural Biology and Drug Design Laboratory
- Advanced Organic Synthesis Technologies Laboratory
- Large-scale synthesis laboratory
- Biotechnology Laboratories
- Pharmaceutical Pharmacology Laboratories
Open House at POLYCLAY-UV Laboratory
“The ”BioPhot" project team invites you to an open house dedicated to POLYCLAY-UV – an innovative polyphenol-clay composite material created from coffee and tea industry by-products, intended as a sustainable, multifunctional UV protection ingredient.
This is an early-stage innovation, and the event marks one of the first steps in its real-world validation. Instead of showcasing a finished product, the development process itself is opened up – creating space for insights, discussions, and co-creation.
The event will take place from 1:30 PM to 3:30 PM at the University of Latvia, Jelgavas iela 3, Riga. Pre-registration is required to participate. here.
Programme:
- Deep-tech presentation: POLYCLAY-UV from material science to application
- Panel Discussion: Science × Sustainability × Industry
- Industry Perspective: From Coffee By-products to High Value-Added Materials (in cooperation with Rocket Bean Roastery)
- Coffee cupping: taste, molecules, and sensory science
Before the public session, closed focus group sessions (invitation only) will also take place to understand user needs and expectations regarding personal care products.
