Alexander Petrov, CEO of Alorix, said, “As a citizen of Latvia, it is especially painful for me to see that my country ranks among the ten worst for young adults. It’s even more disheartening to realise that young people are increasingly leaving their home countries in search of better opportunities abroad.
However, despite this situation, I understand that I do not have the competence to solve such global issues. But I do have the ability to help young people make informed and thoughtful decisions when relocating, based on objective statistics and reliable data.
Moreover, I strive to make the relocation process less stressful and to assist young people in integrating into the culture and society of their chosen country as smoothly and pleasantly as possible. This is not just about improving living conditions, but also about maintaining a connection with cultural heritage while enriching oneself with new knowledge and experiences.”
