The interest from regional and international clients has been significant, with Delska already laying the groundwork to accommodate its first customers in the new facility. Prime Minister Evika Silina remarked, “The inauguration of Delska’s data center clearly signals Latvia's economic maturity and its capability to attract secure, value-added investments.
