Our membership represents Corporates, SMEs, Universities, and individual researchers, as well as VET and networking organizations - collectively driving the AI ecosystem in Latvia. We do not just represent the industry; we act as a neutral connector uniting industry, government/public sector, and academia. We serve as your gateway to the Baltic-Nordic region, helping partners navigate everything from practical AI implementation to complex societal challenges.

Our Core Focus: MILA and its network prioritize AI-related research and application across five key sectors: Energy, Manufacturing, Healthcare, Municipalities, and Robotics.
