Today, more than 200 companies make up the Latvian joining international supply chains. Despite lacking electrical engineering and electronics (E&E) industry their economies of scale, Latvian companies compete which has strong historical traditions here.

Telephones or radio-sets made in Latvia are still in use and their brand names are remembered fondly in Latvian companies take advantage of the former Soviet regions. Today, the Latvian E&E industry is microelectronics industry’s valuable intellectual resources, set to become one of the key high value-added industries broad pool of researchers, well-developed infrastructure in Latvia thanks to the concerted work of the government and an efficient telecommunication system, and and industry professionals. extensive R&D experience.
