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.

Available online at www.sciencedirect.com ScienceDirect Procedia Computer Science 26 ( 2013 ) 21 – 32 ICTE in Regional Development, December 2013, Valmiera, Latvia Selecting indicators for sustainable development of small towns: The case of Valmiera municipality Valtenbergs Visvaldisa*, González Ainhoab, Piziks Ralfsc a Sociotechnical Systems Engineering Institute of Vidzeme University of Applied Sciences, Cesu Street 4, Valmiera, LV-4200, Latvia b National Institute for Regional and Spatial Analysis International Centre for Local and Regional Development National University of Ireland Maynooth c Vidzeme University of Applied Sciences, Latvia Abstract Although much has been written about sustainable development of cities, the debate over the role of small towns as engines in rural development is just beginning to emerge. In the light of the post-recession austerity climate and new a planning period of EU Cohesion Policy it is important to examine the strategic dimensions of sustainable town development. The paper proposes and applies methodology for selecting sustainable development indicators. The study presents a case study of the town Valmiera in North Eastern Latvia. During a stakeholder facilitated indicator selection process 108 indicators from economic, environmental and social dimensions were assessed and filtered leading to a key indicator set of 15. The indicators are grouped according to development themes and reviewed in the light of conceptual and implementation qualities. Review of the sustainable development indicators and the methodology of indicator selection proposed in this publication constitute inputs for creating future based models of sustainable small town development. © 2013 TheThe Authors.
