Yesterday the American, British, Irish and Norwegian and Chambers of Commerce in Latvia held a business luncheon themed “5 things you must know about grant funding for business” to discuss EU funding for business. 

Recently the European Parliament approved the new EU Budget for 2014-2020, approving €960 billion spending plans over the next seven years. In addition to the financial opportunities from the EU funds, EEA/Norway Grants provides €73 million to Latvia over a four year period. 

We invited the following experts to share their knowledge and opinion:
• Agnese Cimdiņa, Adviser for EEA/Norway Grants;
• Andris Ozols, Director of Investment and Development Agency of Latvia;
• Pēteris Vilks, Head Cross-Sectoral Coordination Center.
