StarBridge, a Latvian company specialising in financial infrastructure, recently joined an official delegation led by Latvian Prime Minister Evika Siliņa and Minister of Economics Viktors Valainis on a working visit to Hamburg and Rostock, Germany.
The mission brought together leading Latvian businesses to showcase the nation’s deep technological expertise and highlight opportunities for cooperation within Germany’s large market. This effort underscores Latvia’s growing reputation as a key source of resilient infrastructure solutions for Europe.
The programme was heavily focused on technology and finance, featuring multiple sector-specific events across both Hamburg and Rostock. In Hamburg, the delegation participated in the Latvian–German FinTech Roundtable, visited the Sparkasse Fintech Hub, and met with experts at the Hanseatic Blockchain Institute.
As part of these exchanges, StarBridge presented its proficiency in designing scalable, regulation-ready systems for banks and fintechs across the continent. The company’s solutions portfolio includes core banking modules, automated AML/KYC tools, advanced payment gateways, and robust safeguarding systems.
Olegs Cernisevs, Doctor of Science and founder of StarBridge, spoke on the importance of the trip: “It’s an honor to stand here on behalf of Latvia and show how our expertise can create real impact. My career has always been about bridging theory and practice, and with Blackcat, our flagship project, we proved that academic models can power live financial systems at scale.”
The visit highlighted Latvia’s capacity to contribute essential infrastructure solutions to the wider European ecosystem, supporting capital flows, ensuring regulatory compliance, and driving digital transformation. StarBridge, which combines over 20 years of hands-on engineering experience with applied research in digital operational resilience, is positioned as a prime example of this national technological prowess.
