LVRTC Innovation and R&D

Where critical infrastructure meets innovation

LVRTC is a regional critical infrastructure and digital trust operator, evolving into a platform-based technology provider built on secure infrastructure, data, and connectivity.

Our innovation model is designed for high-reliability environments, where solutions must operate at national scale, under regulatory constraints, and with long-term sustainability.

We transform national-scale assets such as trust services, connectivity, data infrastructure and secure operations  into next-generation digital platforms for Europe.

Core Innovation Domains 

Trusted Digital Services

Development of digital trust services through a diverse portfolio of solutions:

  • eSignature ecosystem (eParaksts, APIs)
  • e-identity and authentication services
  • time-stamping and digital trust infrastructure

Focus: building a trusted digital layer for public and private sectors 

Connectivity & National Infrastructure

  • data transmission backbone
  • broadcast systems
  • optical fibre and physical infrastructure

Focus: resilient, high-performance connectivity as a platform

Security-Driven Infrastructure & Cybersecurity

  • sovereign data centres and secure hosting
  • large-scale monitoring and threat detection capabilities
  • cybersecurity services for public and enterprise clients
  • development of cyber range for testing, simulation, and preparedness across diverse cyber threat scenarios

Focus: secure, compliant, and resilient environments that enable innovation on trusted infrastructure.

Applied Computer Vision (emerging)

  • Development of national border security technology solutions, including one of the largest AI-powered computer vision systems in the Baltics
  • Integrated video surveillance with automated object detection and recognition
  • AI powered machine vision solutions in operational environments
  • Reliable operation in critical infrastructure environments

Focus: targeted, practical AI applications where reliability and accuracy are critical

 

LVRTC’s innovation focus for the coming years:

Platformization of core services (API-first approach)

Expansion of cybersecurity services, cross-border Security operation center (SOC)

Sovereign infrastructure for secure and trusted AI operations

Commercialization of quantum communication technologies

Selective adoption of AI in operational use cases

Growth as a European-level infrastructure and technology partner

Partnership Approach

To accelerate innovation-focused initiatives, we actively seek partners who share similar strategic priorities and ambitions in innovation development, resilience, digital trust, and next-generation infrastructure.

  • European technology partners
  • research institutions
  • public sector organizations

About LVRTC

Why R&D with LVRTC?

  • secure infrastructure layer
  • integration capability
  • a real deployment environment
  • deep domain expertise and experienced specialists
  • access to operational use cases in high-reliability environments
  • a trusted pathway from pilot to scalable service deployment

Innovation DNA 

  • Operating in regulated and national-critical domains, LVRTC follows a risk-aware innovation approach:

     

    – structured pilots before scaling
    – compliance-first architecture
    – long-term maintainability over short-term experimentation

     

    This ensures that innovation strengthens — not disrupts — mission-critical services.

  • LVRTC innovates from the foundation up — combining:

     

    – connectivity
    – data infrastructure
    – trust services

     

    This enables the development of solutions that are not only functional, but operationally resilient and scalable. 

  • Innovation is not centralized.

    It is embedded across:

     

    – all business lines
    – service development processes
    – infrastructure evolution initiatives

     

    A dedicated R&D function provides coordination, prioritization, and targeted funding, ensuring alignment with strategic goals.
