About
Building on the successful practice of seven previous Economic Forums, this platform continues to serve as a vital space for the exchange of experience and cooperation among scientists, entrepreneurs, international investors, diplomats, and politicians. The Forum stimulates the entry of local and foreign investment and promotes the development of an innovative economy for long-term sustainable growth.
The 8th International Humanistic Economic Forum stands as a premier gathering of global minds dedicated to exploring the transformative role of innovation in today’s rapidly evolving economic landscape. Organized in collaboration with the Ministry of Economics of the Republic of Latvia and the Investment and Development Agency of Latvia, this three-day event brings together scientists, entrepreneurs, international investors, diplomats, and policymakers to address the most pressing questions of our time. The Forum examines how we can discover new sources of growth, invest strategically in education and human productivity, introduce science-based innovations at scale, and stimulate increased exports and foreign investment across Latvia and Europe.
Building on the remarkable success of seven previous editions, the Economic Forum has established itself as an essential platform for meaningful dialogue and concrete cooperation. Participants engage in dynamic plenary sessions, interactive workshops, and roundtable discussions led by international experts from diverse fields including modern technology, finance, academia, and policy. Beyond the exchange of ideas, the Forum delivers tangible outcomes—from identifying competitive investment projects in smart specialization areas to fostering partnerships that drive long-term economic development. This convergence of expertise and ambition creates unparalleled networking opportunities and positions Latvia at the forefront of innovation-driven economic transformation.
