potential of the Armenian people may be the only competitive advantage
of our country, and great efforts and investmenst should be made to
use this potential. In his words, the countries, which have been able
to create favorable conditions for ICT introduction, have succeeded
in ensuring rapid development as they increase economic efficiency
and in general, make human life more comfortable.

introduction of innovative and fresh ideas proposed during the forum.
According to Nicrosoft RA's director Grigor Barseghian, holding the
DigiTec Business Forum and the Microsoft Innovation Forum at the same
time makes these events even more significant. In his opinion, the
forum participants will address the issue of importance of innovations
for Armenia by discussing the global processes in the ICT sector and
Armenia's role in them.
RUE chairman Arsen Ghazarian stated that the forum's slogan "Let's
Ensure a Growth through Innovations" means that it is necessary to
achieve a growth in the efficiency of the Armenian economy's management
through solutions developed in Armenian IT sector. He expressed an
opinion that with the aim of solving this problem, cooperation among
ICT enterprises and those of other sectors of Armenian economy should
be strengthened.
The DigiTec Business Forum will finish its work on June 27.
