Lightspace Technologies: From Defence to Medicine – and Back to Defence

As Latvian companies increasingly explore opportunities in the defence and dual-use sectors, Lightspace Technologies is a strong example of how one technology can move between defence and civilian applications – and back again.

The Latvian company develops advanced augmented reality solutions and head-mounted displays. Its technology originally came from the defence sector, later found applications in medicine, and has now returned to defence-focused development.

Today, Lightspace Technologies works internationally and has established cooperation with major industry players, including Rheinmetall Electronics UK. The company’s experience also highlights some of the key challenges for technology companies entering the defence market – from having a demonstration-ready product to finding trusted local partners and navigating different national defence ecosystems.

In the article, Ilmārs Osmanis, owner of Lightspace Technologies, shares the company’s experience of developing dual-use technologies, entering international markets and building partnerships in the defence industry.
