An insightful interview with Haralds Neimanis, the Country Manager of LANDE Latvia, where he talks about his professional background, his journey with LANDE, and his role in shaping the company’s operations on its home market.

Crowdfunding has become a vital alternative financing mechanism in Europe, bridging the gap between investors and businesses, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA), the main regulator of crowdfunding platforms in the European Union, has released its first Market Report on Crowdfunding, shedding light on market trends, key statistics, and the evolving regulatory framework. 

As the calendar turns to a new year, we at LANDE are filled with gratitude for our community of investors and farmers who have made 2024 a remarkable year. 

Six of Latvia’s leading investment platforms—LANDE, INDEMO, VIAINVEST, NECTARO, DEBITUM INVESTMENTS, and TWINO—have joined forces to form an alliance dedicated to advancing transparency, trust, and innovation in the fintech industry. Together, we are setting a new standard for investor confidence and collaboration in Europe’s alternative financing market.
