YEREVAN, OCTOBER 8, NOYAN TAPAN. The 8th international trade and
industrial exhbition "Armenia Expo 2008" will open at Yerevan's
Dynamo Stadium on October 14. The exhibition is being organized
on the initiative of the Logos Expo center and with the support
of the RA ministry of economy, the RA foreign ministry, the Union
of Manufacturers and Businessmen of Armenia (UMBA). More than 120
industrial and commercial companies will participate in it.
The director of the center Ara Stepanian said at the October 7 press
conference that Armenia Expo is considered one of the major exhibitions
in the region, with the number of its participants - foreign
organizations growing year by year. In his words, the exhibition
allows foreign companies to find reliable partners in Armenia.
At the same time he noted that unlike the previous years, this year
the number of participating companies will not exceed 120 as the
halls of Dynamo Stadium are small. In response to the question about
why K. Demirchian Sport and Concert Complex has not been chosen as
the place for holding the exhibition, A. Stepanian replied that the
management of the complex should be asked this question. "Negotiations
with the management lasted over 3 months. As a result, DigiTec and
Armenia Expo (both are considred brand exhibitions) are held in
places not convenient for such events," he said, adding that he has
repeatedly applied to the government but no solution to the problem
has been found so far. Whereas, according to him, 20-30% of business
links in the world are established through exhibitions.
Within the framework of Armenia Expo 2008, the European Economic
Chmaber of Commerce, Industry and Trade will organize an international
conference on October 15 with the support of the RA ministry of
economy. Problems of food indutsry, as well as issues related to the
export of mineral waters and natural and tinned fruit and vegetables
to European markets will be discussed at the conference.
