Vefresh

VEFRESH movement was launched in 2019 when VEF district technology companies joined forces with real estate developers and Riga municipality owned culture venue “VEF Kulturas pils”. The movement aims to redevelop VEF district as a pilot territory for smart city solutions where corporations, start ups and public sector prototype and test their latest solutions in public space. Already now VEF district is accountable for more than 40% of Latvia’s annual IT exports and employs more than technology specialists. Based at the industrial quarter of former electronics giant “VEF” and its surrounding territories, VEFRESH has set out to transform this location as a dynamic environment for people to live, work and relax. VEFRESH stands for a people-friendly, sustainable environment, convenient, accessible public transport and new technology use in benefit of the diverse people of VEF district.
