The Canadian-listed technology developer plans to establish Latvia as its European headquarters in 2026, including a manufacturing facility and dedicated sales force to serve markets throughout Europe.
The company is in advanced discussions to locate its new facility in the Special Economic Zone in Liepaja, a port city on Latvia's western coast. This strategic location within the European Union offers logistical advantages and access to a corporate tax rate of 4%. The move positions CiTech to better serve European defense, border security, surveillance, and infrastructure markets.
As part of its due diligence process, CiTech has conducted high-level meetings with key Latvian stakeholders including the Ministry of Defence, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Latvian Investment and Development Agency (LIAA), Armed Forces Command, Liepaja Local Government, and Liepaja Special Economic Zone Agency. These engagements have confirmed Latvia's attractiveness as the location for the company's European headquarters.

The establishment of SIA CiTech Europe strengthens the company's international footprint and represents a long-term commitment to the European region.
