The Investment and Development Agency of Latvia (LIAA) reached the maximum number of applications for its seventh Mini MBA cohort in ‘Innovation Management’ within 28 minutes. Applications opened at 10:00 and closed at 10:28 on Friday, August 13.

There are 20 places available for this cohort. While applications are ranked by submission order, LIAA will assess each applicant's eligibility based on program requirements before making final decisions. LIAA Director Ieva Jāgere noted that the rapid closure reflects a high demand among business leaders for practical skills to transform innovations into competitive products and business growth.

Implemented in cooperation with the Stockholm School of Economics in Riga (SSE Riga), the 10-to-12-week program is designed for middle and senior managers of Latvian small and medium-sized enterprises. The training focuses on innovation strategy and trends to enhance productivity and export competitiveness for companies operating within Latvia’s Smart Specialisation Strategy (RIS3) areas.
