Latvia is taking a significant step forward in the defense industry – Baltic Photonics, in collaboration with international partners, is making a major investment in the creation of a new factory.
This initiative will not only strengthen the country's defense capabilities but also create new jobs and promote technological development in the Baltic region.

A significant meeting has taken place in Riga between representatives of the University of Latvia and the International Association of Defense Production Manufacturers (SAPRA).

SAPRA, in collaboration with Baltic Photonics, had the distinct honor of welcoming Nicolas Lepage, Counsellor (Commercial Affairs) at the Embassy of Canada for Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia.

On November 14, 2024, the International Association of Defense Product Manufacturers (SAPRA) was officially established in Riga. Bringing together global defense experts and companies, SAPRA aims to unite the photonics and optics industries, promote innovation, and strengthen security on NATO's eastern flank.
