Plan for Digital Growth 2022” Different Local Stakeholders Were Involved in Discussions, Meetings, Local Events and in Techtown International Visits
Introduction 3 Cēsis context 4 Digital Ecosystem 7 Digital Growth 9 Problem statement and objective 10 Priorities 11 Actions and indicators 13 Governance 23 Capitalization and Monitoring 24 Authors: Evija Taurene, Cēsis municipality Development and building department Edīte Matuseviča, Cēsis municipality Communication and Client Service department TechTown Cēsis Local Action Group 2 (Expert Group on Taxation of the Digital Economy, European Commission, 2013) On national level, the digital economy is seen as an increasingly important part of business development in Latvia, with a vivid start-up scene and exciting international happenings in the nation’s capital Riga and “Start- ups law” developed in 2017. The sector is cited in a number of important national documents including 'Development of Smart Specialization Strategy', and the 'Sustainable Long-Term Strategy for Latvia to 2030', however there is no digital strategy on the national level. Recognising the rapidly changing nature of the Economy, Cēsis municipality has included Digital industries among the most important economic sectors in its “Strategy for long term development 2015-2030”. In September 2015 Cēsis municipality joined TechTown – an URBACT III Action Planning network of 11 small and medium sized cities from the EU on the mission to understand the present and future of digital economy and strive to grow digital jobs. In order to grasp the topic, TechTown looked more closely into several topics: Better understanding the digital economy; Growing Digital Jobs (through start-ups, through transformation of traditional industry, smart city agenda, and providing spaces and places for connections); Finding, growing, retaining and returning talent; and Governance. 3 Cēsis is a town about 85 km East of Riga in the Centre of Latvia, well connected to the major cities. -
Investing in Preschool Age Children – a Case Study of Vidzeme Region (Latvia)
SOCIETY. INTEGRATION. EDUCATION Proceedings of the International Scientific Conference. Volume IV, May 26th-27th, 2017. 353-362 INVESTING IN PRESCHOOL AGE CHILDREN – A CASE STUDY OF VIDZEME REGION (LATVIA) Feliciana Rajevska Katrīne Reima Vidzeme University of Applied Sciences, Latvia Abstract. Social investments are important for a child’s development and future success. Parental leaves and Early Childhood Education and Care services (ECEC) are among main forms of social investment, contributing to child poverty reduction and increasing equality, as well as underpinning the potential for skilled workers in the future. The aim of the paper is to analyse availability of the main forms of social investment in preschool age children - early childhood education services and parental leaves, in Vidzeme region (Latvia) for a case study. An analysis of policy documents, parents’ surveys at pre-school institutions, interviews with education institution representatives and local authorities regarding education and social matters were conducted in the research. The support system for parents is still dominated by the “passive” form of support system. However, social investment policies are becoming increasingly more important. This is achieved by supporting parents' access to social investment services and by increasing the amount of parental leave benefits. In 2013-2015 funding for child-care and family policy has increased. Expenditure growth was mostly affected by an increase in the allowance for childcare and the minimum parental allowance. The availability of ECEC is moderate, but since 2009 private institutions and since 2013 babysitting services have been co-funded at the national level till May 31, 2016 to improve it. Since September 2015 a 3-year innovative project “Vouchers for the provision of child minder services to workers with nonstandard work schedules” has been introduced too, to promote parental employment and work and family balance. -

THE CHAIRMAN'S FOREWORD The year 2018 has been dynamic for the Regulator with significant changes in regulatory development. In early 2018, a new operational strategy for the years 2018-2021 was approved, defining key priorities for the service quality, availability and setting economically justified prices The most significant event in the energy sector was the agreement between the Finnish, Estonian and Latvian regulators on the creation of a single natural gas market, which is planned to be launched in 2020. This will mean that a single entry-exit tariff zone will be applied in the future, namely, only the tariffs on the external border of the unified zone will be applied for transporting natural gas through the systems of these countries but no transmission tariff will be applied at cross-border points between Latvia, Estonia and Finland. Last year, the Regulator also approved new natural gas distribution system service tariffs. -
