In November 2006, the first office abroad was opened in Riga, the capital of Latvia, enabling participating companies to explore the Baltic market from Riga. Priority of Fryslân House Riga is building a bridge between the Baltic States and Friesland, thus creating an extended network for the participating companies, eventually leading to growing turnover.
