Today is the 7^th anniversary of a foundation Ventspils High Technology Park. Tell me how all this began?

At the end of 2004 I arrived in Ventspils – city which I immediately found very attractive. I understood that here I want to work and stay. This was how the idea about development of electronics and high technologies in Ventspils was born.

Rūdolfs is a relative of famous Latvian writer Rūdolfs Blaumanis, boy’s great-great-grandfather was writer’s brother. That is why the boy’s parents decided to name their son after his famous relative.
