Central Baltic & Azerbaijan B2B Forum

On 28th of May, from 14PM to 17PM, the Central Baltic – Azerbaijan Business Forum, organised in framework of project LEF Network Azerbaijan will take place at the National Library of Latvia, Riga. The Forum will bring together business people and officials from Azerbaijan, Latvia, Estonia and Finland to discuss economic ties and opportunities for cooperation.

Līga Sičeva, Director of the EU Projects Department of the LCCI: “The Forum is necessary to strengthen economic ties between the Central Baltic States and Azerbaijan. It creates a platform for direct negotiations and deal-making, creating closer ties between business people and promoting opportunities for mutually beneficial cooperation. Latvian, Estonian, Finnish and Azerbaijani companies can benefit significantly by expanding their activities beyond their national borders. The Forum provides an opportunity for businesses to learn about export and investment opportunities in Azerbaijan, as well as to identify new markets and business partners. Forums of this kind contribute to the region’s international competitiveness by strengthening economic ties and creating a favourable environment for investment.”

The Forum will promote not only economic, but also political and cultural cooperation between the countries. It is an opportunity to build international networks that can lead to long-term cooperation in sectors ranging from technology and education to green technology and innovation. The Forum will provide an opportunity for participants to exchange knowledge and experience, learn about best practices and the latest developments in business management, economic development and innovation.

The Forum will be attended by an Azerbaijani delegation of more than 10 companies, as well as Azerbaijan’s leading business support organisation, Caspian Energy Club. It will be a unique opportunity to meet potential partners from Azerbaijan as well as partners from Estonia and Finland.

Mārtiņš Āboliņš, Chief Macroeconomic Analyst for the Baltic Region at Citadele Bank, will provide an insight into the economic ties between Azerbaijan and the Central Baltic States, offering a deeper understanding of the existing relationship and future prospects. Also, to provide valuable insights on management strategies and challenges in the international business environment, a presentation will be held by Mārtiņš Martinsons, CEO of FC Latvia. There will also be an informative session on the business environment in Azerbaijan, presented by representatives from Azerbaijan.
