"Global Gateway": EU strategy opens a path to new markets for Latvian businesses
Representatives of Latvia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs explain how the EU's "Global Gateway" initiative can help Latvian small and medium-sized enterprises expand beyond traditional European markets.

Latvian small and medium-sized enterprises looking for growth opportunities beyond traditional European markets may want to pay attention to the European Union's "Global Gateway" strategy. According to representatives of Latvia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, who spoke to TVNET, the initiative should not be understood as a simple grant programme or a single procurement portal that businesses could use directly.
A broader approach to market expansion
Ministry of Foreign Affairs representatives explain how this EU initiative works in practice, and point to the sectors and world regions where companies might look for opportunities. They also outline where a business should begin if it wants to assess its potential to make use of what "Global Gateway" offers.
The initiative is presented as a resource that can help Latvian exporters and growth-oriented companies seek new markets outside the European Union's borders, though using it effectively requires understanding how it is structured and what areas it covers.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs notes that companies considering this EU support mechanism can access information and consultations to better understand how "Global Gateway" might fit into their growth strategy.
