About
The Riga Investment and Tourism Agency (RITA) is responsible for promoting Riga as an attractive destination for investment, business and tourism. Its work is structured around two main areas: attracting foreign direct investment to Riga and positioning the city internationally in target markets.
RITA supports projects, facilitates investment attraction and fosters connections between businesses, investors, residents and visitors, contributing to Riga’s economic development and international visibility.
Within the startup ecosystem, RITA plays a coordinating and enabling role at city level. It is one of the actors contributing to state and municipal support for startups and the innovation ecosystem, as reflected in the report’s overview of public support instruments.
RITA is also a signatory and active participant in the Memorandum of Understanding between Riga City and the startup ecosystem, signed in 2021, which brings together multiple ecosystem organisations. This platform supports cooperation between the city and startup stakeholders, enabling the co-creation of support activities and solutions that respond to the ecosystem’s needs and help develop Riga as a startup-friendly city.
