As part of the U.S. Department of State's economic statecraft initiative, embassies worldwide have launched an informational series called Direct Line to American Business. These programs allow businesses to speak directly to the U.S. Ambassador and business sector experts in any country. U.S. Embassy Riga has used a webinar format to connect with small and medium enterprises interested in the Latvian market. AmCham members have been active supporters of the program by participating as guest speakers on their sectors. The videos of the previous events can be viewed online:
