The University of Latvia (UL) Student Business Incubator is the largest university based business incubator in Latvia.

Every year in October, the incubator organizes a student business opportunity festival Icebreakers.
The UL Student Business Incubator has been established thanks to the University of Latvia, the UL Faculty of Business, Management and Economics, as well as Latvian and foreign patrons, incl.
