We represent the interests of Riga entrepreneurs and build dialogue with state and municipal institutions and international organisations.

History

From the Riga Business Club to a 25th anniversary

The Riga Business Association was founded on the basis of the Riga Business Club in the mid-1990s. It was entered in the Register of Associations and Foundations on 21 March 2001 and in the Register of Enterprises on 29 March 2006. One of its founders is Tālivaldis Kreislers.

The association is a member of the Employers’ Confederation of Latvia and the Latvian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and has signed the Cabinet of Ministers and NGO cooperation memorandum, the Riga and NGO cooperation memorandum and a cooperation agreement with Turība University.
