Memorandum of Understanding on the Development of Quantum Technologies in Latvia

On October 19, 2023, a memorandum of understanding titled “the Development of Quantum Technologies in Latvia” was signed by 11 partners.

The objectives of the cooperation outlined in the memorandum are:

  1. To enhance Latvia’s international competitiveness in high technology within the field of quantum technologies, including the development of local expertise and innovation.
  2. To create, develop, and jointly utilize a test environment for technological solutions. To support the creation, adaptation, and development of innovative solutions and coordinated initiatives in quantum technology.
  3. To promote collaboration between the academic sector, including students and international quantum technology experts, and the industry to facilitate the transfer of knowledge to Latvia’s economy.
  4. The parties will collaborate by organizing meetings, consultations, and working groups in the field of quantum technologies.
  5. Joint meetings of the parties will take place at least four times a year to discuss the current situation in quantum technology development, as well as the status of ongoing projects, initiatives, and collaborations.
