Latvia–Torrance Defense & Dual-Use Technology Roundtable
We are pleased to invite you to a special Latvia–Torrance Defense & Dual-Use Technology Roundtable, bringing together Latvian and Southern California companies for a focused morning of introductions, discussion, and business connections.
Date: Thursday, September 24, 2026
Time: 9:00–10:30 a.m.
Address: Torrance Cultural Arts Center – Garden Rooms – 3330 Civic Center Drive, Torrance, CA 90503
The roundtable is being held in conjunction with the visit of a high-level Latvian business delegation to Southern California accompanying President of Latvia Edgars Rinkēvičs.
Approximately 15–20 Latvian defense and dual-use technology companies will join a curated group of Southern California companies representing aerospace, defense, advanced manufacturing, drones, robotics, communications, and related technologies.
The goal is simple: identify how we can do business together.
The 90-minute program will prioritize direct conversation and connections around:
• Supply-chain and sourcing opportunities;
• Technology and manufacturing partnerships;
• Customers and market-entry opportunities;
• Investment and transatlantic collaboration.
Participants will briefly introduce their companies and capabilities, followed by an opportunity for direct networking and discussion of potential synergies.
Attendance will be intentionally limited to encourage substantive conversations and meaningful connections. Submit your interest to Fran Fulton (ffulton@torranceca.gov).
Attending as part of the LIAA delegation? This is already on your official programme!
Hosted in collaboration by the City of Torrance, the Investment and Development Agency of Latvia (LIAA), and the Latvian American Chamber of Commerce (LACC).
We would be delighted to have you join us and will share profiles of participating Latvian companies ahead of the roundtable.
