and Chairman of the Board, Dr.oec. Juris Binde received a PhD in Business Administration from the University of Latvia in 2007. J. Binde is also the chair of the UL Council Convention. The CEO emphasizes the importance of philanthropy in the development of higher education. Why do you think it is important to support higher education?

Why is it important to donate to UL, its projects and the most talented students? I have a very personal relationship with the UL. At the University of Latvia, I received my PhD in business administration, therefore this university will always be special to me. In terms of support to universities
