Latvia’s Investment and Development Agency, working with sectoral partners, is drafting a bioeconomy strategy for research and innovation that emphasises knowledge intensity and sustainability. A key feature of the strategy is the integration of digitalisation tools, including AI, to strengthen productivity, resource efficiency, and monitoring across bio-based industries. The strategy is linked to a structured action plan with timelines, ensuring that measures are not only conceptual but also accompanied by concrete steps for implementation. By embedding AI into the broader bioeconomy framework, Latvia aims to align innovation policy with its sustainability goals while giving local firms and research bodies clearer guidance on future priorities.
