Novatore

What Novatore does

Novatore SIA is a privately-held Latvian women's economic empowerment organisation founded around 2022 by Baiba Rubesa and Dagnija Lejiņa, operating from Riga with a core team of 7 employees. Its business is event-driven: the flagship is the annual Novatore Impact Summit, a single-day conference held at Mūzikas nams DAILE in Riga that drew 300+ senior executives, entrepreneurs, and decision-makers from the Baltic states for its fifth edition in March 2026. The summit monetises through tiered ticket sales (Personal €265, Business €395, VIP €888) via the Fienta self-serve platform, plus February warm-up events (Impact Day masterclasses at €45, Lipstick Lunch at €29) that serve as lead generation for the main event.

Beyond the summit, Novatore operates a year-round ecosystem comprising the Novatore Club (membership-based mastermind groups, executive mentoring, Club Day events hosted at partner venues such as SEB Latvia's office), the Baibas Balva annual award for exceptional Latvian women in business (€1,000 prize plus national media exposure), and the WE CARE programme offering paid corporate services including ESG assessments, diversity management training, and sustainability management consulting. A recurring proprietary research asset, the Novatore Gender Equality Barometer, is conducted annually with Norstat on 861 Latvian residents. Revenue is generated across three streams — event ticketing, corporate services/training, and membership/club programmes — with sponsorship contribution from Gold Partners (Visa, Citadele Bank, TV3 Group, TV NET grupa), Partner-tier sponsors (Stockmann, Verde, Radisson Blu Riga, Norstat, embassies of Switzerland, France, Canada, Israel), and media partners (Delfi, Finday, Lilita). The organisation has no proprietary technology platform and no disclosed AI capabilities; its competitive position rests on community ecosystem, brand recognition, event execution, and the proprietary gender-equality research.
