Riga TechGirls – the transformative power of nurturing ideas

This Latvian-based organisation delivered three week-long Business Ideas and Digital Marketing Summer School camp sessions designed to equip young people with practical entrepreneurial and digital skills. The programme provided participants with hands-on exposure to the full journey of building a business idea—from initial concept development to creating a strong and coherent digital identity.

During the camps, students worked collaboratively in teams to develop business models, design logos and visual identities, and create social media content to support their ideas. Sessions were hosted in collaboration with Startup House Riga, placing participants at the heart of Latvia’s startup ecosystem and giving them valuable insight into real-world entrepreneurship and innovation environments.

Our support helped facilitate the delivery of the camp sessions and directly enabled 12 students to participate in the programme, ensuring access to high-quality learning experiences and mentorship. The programme fostered creativity, confidence, and collaboration, while encouraging participants to experiment, learn, and believe in their potential as future entrepreneurs.

The success of the summer school was made possible by a dedicated team of facilitators and mentors who not only delivered engaging and informative sessions, but also created a supportive, safe, and motivating environment where participants could grow and develop their ideas. Industry exposure was further enhanced through collaboration with WRONG Digital, giving students insight into digital marketing and branding from an agency perspective and an inspiring behind-the-scenes look at professional campaigns.

With the support of Paymentology, the summer school empowered young participants to take their first meaningful steps towards entrepreneurship, even at a young age. This programme marked an important milestone in their journeys, laying strong foundations for future innovation, ambition, and impact.
