The University of Latvia will showcase innovations, research opportunities, and modern technologies
The University of Latvia at the “Tech Industry” exhibition will showcase innovations, research opportunities, and modern technologies
Visitors to the exhibition will be able to explore:
- Support from the UL Innovation and Acceleration Center for entrepreneurship, innovation, and technology commercialization;
- Modern geophysical research equipment and its applications demonstrated by the Department of Geology at the Faculty of Science and Technology of the University of Latvia;
- Standardized material tests and analyses provided by the UL Testing and Measurement Laboratory;
- A demonstration by the Institute of Physics of the University of Latvia - permanent magnet technology for liquid metal mixing and heating.
The UL Innovation and Acceleration Center operates as a one-stop agency connecting science and business, offering mentoring, consultations, pre-incubation and acceleration programs. The center supports the development of new technologies, attraction of funding, project preparation, and commercialization of intellectual property. At the exhibition, visitors will learn about opportunities to participate in competitions, hackathons, innovation forums, and collaboration initiatives.
The Department of Geology at the Faculty of Science and Technology of the University of Latvia will present modern geophysical research equipment - electrical resistivity systems, ground-penetrating radars, gravimeters, magnetometers, and seismic investigation tools. These instruments enable sediment, Earth’s gravity and magnetic field, as well as vibration measurements down to tens of meters deep, providing high-precision data valuable for both researchers and industrial projects.
The UL Testing and Measurement Laboratory offers accredited methods for determining the properties of thermal insulation, waterproofing, soils and rocks, as well as physical property tests of various composite materials. These services are essential for construction, road building, and mechanical engineering companies seeking to ensure material quality and durability.
The Institute of Physics of the University of Latvia will demonstrate a unique device where a rotating magnet moves liquid metal without direct contact. This Latvia-developed technology significantly improves the mixing, heating, and pumping of aluminum and other metal melts, ensuring lower energy consumption and reduced CO2 emissions in metallurgy.
