On September 11, a delegation from HaDEA — including Director Marina Zanchi, Georgios Margetidis, and Katleen Engelbosch — visited Riga to meet Latvian partners and explore key EU-funded initiatives. Moderated by Dr. Juris Binde, President of Latvian Mobile Telephone (LMT), the event featured welcoming remarks from Riga’s Vice Mayor Māris Sprindžuks and Italian Ambassador H.E. Alessandro Monti.

Among the showcased projects, 5G4LIVES stood out for demonstrating Latvia’s leadership in applying 5G and drone technology to enhance public safety and smart city services. The team presented progress in developing 5G drone corridors in Riga enabling BVLOS flights, automated monitoring, and innovative urban testbeds, and also showcased the new custom-built Beyron 5G drones — a key milestone ahead of the project’s first real-life demonstrations.
The visit underscored HaDEA’s recognition of Latvia’s strong innovation spirit and the value of European collaboration in advancing digitalization, resilience, and life-saving technologies.
