CONFERENCEPatrons of the UL Student Business Incubator
To foster a culture of youth entrepreneurship in Latvia, the first student business grant fund in the Baltics was established in 2014 at the initiative of the University of Latvia Student Business Incubator and its largest patron, John Medveckis. In 2021, the fund is supported by 123 Latvian and international companies and private individuals. It is precisely the donations made by successful individuals and entrepreneurs to the UL Business Ideas Fund that allow us to move forward.
