The Latvian Social Entrepreneurship Association and Luminor bank have launched the ninth annual social entrepreneurship pitch competition, titled ‘Tam labam būs augt 2026’. The initiative is designed to support social entrepreneurship in Latvia by providing funding for ideas that address social problems through various goods or services.

The competition offers a total prize fund of 8,000 euros, with two winners receiving 4,000 euros each. One winner is to be selected by a jury, while the other will be determined by a public vote during a live broadcast. Eligible applicants include individuals, legal entities, companies, associations, and foundations.

The process consists of three stages. Following an application period ending September 17, the 25 strongest ideas will undergo training and pitch coaching. The final event is scheduled for October 15 in Riga, where ten finalists will present their ideas.
