Forbes is relaunching its Latvia edition

Forbes announced Tuesday the relaunch of Forbes Latvia in partnership with SIA Business magazine, the company established by former editor of Forbes Latvia and Forbes Estonia.

Forbes Latvia, with a circulation of 10,000, is expected to launch in May, followed by the website Forbes.lv and a dedicated conference and events business in the fall.

The content of Forbes Latvia will consist of 60 percent Latvian stories, commentaries and features, and 40 percent editorial content from Forbes magazines from around the world.

“The new Forbes in Latvia will emphasize the importance of digital solutions in various business sectors, paying special attention to the most successful international businesses, which will allow local entrepreneurs to learn from global experience,” said Katrina Iljinska, publisher of Forbes Latvia in a statement.

Forbes also has deals to publish editions in China, Croatia, India, Israel, Korea, Poland, Romania, Russia and Turkey, among other countries.
