Chairman of the Board of Ventspils High Technology Park Ivars Eglājs:
– Ventspils is the only Latvian city in which the number of ICT companies has increased more than 5 times during the last 7 years. The developed strategy and action plan prescribes a further development and provision of ICT concentration in the city. According to the strategy we plan to make Ventspils more visible in the European ICT map by finding the niche appropriate for Ventspils and the whole region as well as by providing high-quality education for professionals, and excellen infrastructure and the best conditions for ICT companies.
Chairman of the Board of Diana Candles Lars Olesen:
– One of the reasons for us to choose Ventspils was the special economic zone, which can be found elsewhere in Latvia, too, but an additional argument in favor of the Freeport of Ventspils was the cooperation with and support from the local authorities – the municipality and the Freeport. Our company employs around 180 people, who do their work very well and with high quality. Ventspils is a beautiful city, which offers a vast range of leisure time activities to choose from – it can be a concert in the theatre house Sea Gate (Jūras vārti) or skiing on the mountain Lembergs’ Trilby (Lemberga Hūte). The city knows the wishes of people.
