The 3rd Annual Armenian Information Technology (IT) Conference kicked off in Yerevan today. In light of the latest political and economic developments, the conference aims to analyze the current opportunities and challenges and define IT industry priorities for the future.
The conference will raise and seek solutions to Armenia’s telecommunication sector development, will highlight how academic partnerships can result in competitive educational curricula, and how the creation of venture capital funds can support the development and expansion of high tech businesses.
“Our IT sphere is in the stage of formation. The experience of the countries in crisis has showed that the service sector is the most steadfast. The fields of tourism and Information Technologies managed to resist the crisis better than others. I hope no decline will be registered in the IT sphere. The most challenging in the sphere is the issue of preparing high-quality specialists,” said Nerses Yeritsyan, Armenian minister of Economy.
