Last year was marked by growth and innovation, with BDA making a significant contribution to lifelong learning. Over 5,000 professionals from 443 companies received training, and in December we launched a unique initiative, the “BDA Artificial Intelligence School”, offering the opportunity to develop in-demand digital skills free of charge. So far, more than 1,600 people have shown interest in the project.

We achieved a turnover of €2.35 million and an EBITDA of €0.5 million (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization), surpassing the profitability results of the past 31 years. These successful results were driven by the use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools and a data-driven approach. As a result, the team was able to deliver three times more training, develop personalized learning solutions, and facilitate the introduction of new products.

The achievements of our team last year are a clear demonstration that leveraging AI tools and a data-driven approach enables unprecedented productivity while opening doors to new collaborations and projects.

Employee skill development is one of the smartest investments a company can make – it is an opportunity to quickly strengthen team competencies, become more efficient, and increase competitiveness.

BDA made an invaluable contribution by developing new programs for digital transformation training in the public sector, implemented in collaboration with the Latvian School of Public Administration. In addition, active cooperation continues with nine industry associations, enabling employees of Latvian companies to participate in BDA programs with up to 100% co-financing from the European Union. Companies can still take advantage of this opportunity until May 2026, enhancing their competitiveness in rapidly changing conditions.

In 2025, the company focused on strengthening international partnerships, including attracting new instructors – industry experts – from Poland, Germany, Estonia, and Switzerland. BDA e-courses, developed in collaboration with one of the most influential IT industry associations, the Latvian IT Cluster, are now being studied even by professionals living in the Central Asian region.
