Samsung откроет в столице Латвии центр исследований и развития





Президент Латвии Раймонд Вейонис и руководство корпорации Samsung во время сегодняшней встречи в Сеуле договорились о создании в Риге центра исследований и развития Samsung.
Как сообщили в президентской канцелярии, Вейонис дал высокую оценку деятельности Samsung в Латвии по развитию цифровых навыков у молодёжи.
"Латвийское правительство, отрасль ИКТ и ученые совместно работают над тем, чтобы добиться прорыва в экономике, обеспечив путём дигитализации широкий доступ к имеющимся в распоряжении государства данным и содействуя их использованию в коммерческих целях. Достигнутая с Samsung договорённость о создании в Риге центра исследований и развития будет не только способствовать сотрудничеству Латвии и Южной Кореи в области ИКТ, но и станет поддержкой на пути к этой цели", — сказал президент.
