Latvia’s leading provider of communication services, Lattelecom, has become an official partner of the international annual conference on e-commerce, “eCom21”.
The organising committee of the conference notes that “eCom21” plays a significant role by providing a platform for recognised companies and experts in the e-commerce industry. Owing to the forum, new advanced visions are established and objective solutions are taken on developing the industry as a whole.
“eCom21”, the biggest forum on e-commerce in the Baltics, which is traditionally arranged under the auspices of Rietumu Bank, will be held on 19–20 November in Riga. This year will become the fourth consecutive year this conference has been arranged.
The Head of the Business Development Department of the Lattelecom Data Centre reckons that “The Baltic countries have great potential in this field. This is one of the reasons for our participation in the biggest forum on e-commerce in the Baltics – “eCom21”.

He also notes that e-commerce is the most dynamically glowing retail market in Europe – one proof of this is the industry growth in comparison with last year’s results, which is estimated as 15–20%. “This tendency is especially vivid in the Nordic countries.

At the same time, entrepreneurs and business managers are in a constant search for new solutions which will help them to reduce production costs and increase sales”.
