TSI has launched a new student innovation support initiative – the second “Innovation Grants for Students” project within iDEAHUB, TSI’s Innovation and Entrepreneurship Centre. Building on the success of the first iDEAHUB phase, the project continues to strengthen students’ innovation potential, entrepreneurial mindset, and ability to turn ideas into real-world solutions.
The project will run from 1 January 2026 to 31 December 2027. Its goal is to provide students at different levels of study with financial support, practical training, mentoring, and opportunities to collaborate with industry partners.
Students are invited to submit innovation project applications in the following focus areas:
- Information and Communication Technologies
- Digital Society and Transformation
- Smart Logistics and Transport
As part of the second iDEAHUB project, up to 20 student innovation projects are planned to receive support, helping teams move from an initial idea to practical implementation. The project will strengthen cooperation between academia and industry, encouraging the development and application of new, competitive solutions.
At the same time, the first iDEAHUB call for applications has now been announced. The application deadline is 2 April 2026 at 12:00 noon. Funding of up to EUR 2,000 is available for small projects, while large projects may receive up to EUR 8,406.
In addition, each participant will receive a monthly scholarship ranging from EUR 200 to EUR 228, as well as access to mentoring, consultations, practical training, and collaboration opportunities with industry partners. This support will help students develop their innovation ideas from an early concept into a practical and impactful solution.
iDEAHUB continues to build an environment where student ideas can grow into real solutions with meaningful impact on Latvia’s innovation ecosystem. We invite students to follow the latest updates and take advantage of this opportunity to apply and become part of the next generation of innovators.
Your idea can become the next success story! Apply today – individually or as part of a team!
Applications are open until 2 April 2026 at 12:00 noon.
The project “Transport and Telecommunication Institute (TSI) Innovation Grants for Students – iDEAHUB” is implemented with the financial support of the European Union under Project No. 1.1.1.7/1/25/A/004.
