Managing Adviser at the Union of Information Technologies Enterprises,
UITE Expo Director Vahan Hovsepyan met with his Georgian and other
foreign partners, including those from Albania, Bulgaria, Macedonia,
Moldova, Ukraine and Latvia, as part of the ICT Development and Cyber
Security Event GITI 2010 held between November 10 and 12 in Tbilisi,
Georgia. Many of the event participants accepted the invitation of
the Union of Information Technologies Enterprises to participate in
the Digitec Business forum due in 2011 June.
"The aim of our visit to Georgia was to properly present Armenian IT
sector, to gain new partners, to get acquainted with all possible
ways for attending regional IT events. Unless we show that Armenia
is a reliable partner, we will never meet adequate attitude," UITE
Expo Director Vahan Hovsepyan said stressing that the state should
also play an important role in this issue.
"IT private sector needs state support, and it would be dishonest
not to support the sector having huge capacities across the South
Caucasus and Eastern Europe," V. Hovsepyan said.
The Armenian delegation also visited the Embassy of Netherlands in
Georgia and discussed cooperation in Armenian private sector with
Netherlands government MMF, PSI economic cooperation programs, Nuffic
educational program, ORIO state cooperation program.
Note that the Armenian delegation was co-funded by D-Link, USAID/Caps,
USAID/RCI. USAID/Caps also provided special advisory services while
dealing with target consumers.
