“Our mission is to build an ecosystem that fosters innovation and collaboration, and to build new teams that are able to address the challenges they face. Latvia has excellent science and excellent high-tech companies; we just need to learn how to work together to bring it outside of Latvia,” says Andris Anspoks, Deputy Director of Innovation at the ISSP UL.

On February 7 - 9, the University of Latvia's Institute of Solid State Physics (ISSP UL) hosted the Latvian high-tech hackathon Deep Science Hackathon 2020, where participants in interdisciplinary teams, along with mentors, developed five ideas and presented them to the jury, scientists and potential investors.

This year, students and professionals from various Latvian universities and companies participated in the Latvian high-tech hackathon Deep Science Hackathon 2020 organized by the ISSP UL. Countries such as India, Denmark, Lithuania, Nepal and, of course, Latvia were represented.
