The Green Corridor initiative

The Green Corridor initiative

The Green Corridor initiative provides an opportunity for businesses that are important to Latvia's economy to receive public services from the state and local governments on a priority basis and within specified timeframes.

The aim of the initiative is to promote export growth, attract investment and foster the growth of the security industry by reducing the administrative burden and speeding up administrative coordination processes.

The initiative was developed based on Cabinet Regulation No. 277 of May 6, 2025, "Procedures for Ensuring the Provision of Priority Public Services to Commercial Entities" (hereinafter referred to as Cabinet Regulation No. 277). Commercial entities that meet the conditions specified in Cabinet Regulation No. 277 are entitled to receive public services from the state and local governments at least twice as quickly.

Businesses can apply for the Green Corridor by submitting an application to the Latvian Investment and Development Agency - https://business.gov.lv/en/support-opportunities/green-corridor-initiat…

The application must be accompanied by a Green Corridor opinion (see Related Documents). The opinion may be requested by the trader from the Ministry of Defense without the intermediation of the Latvian Investment and Development Agency.
