Information Technologies remain one of the leading branches of Armenian
economy. Even with a number of problems existing in the field, it
continues registering serious achievements, having finally overcome
the influence of the global financial-economic crisis.
Currently there are more than 300 IT companies functioning in Armenia
with the total capital of $205 mln and with about 7 000 specialists
involved.
"Armenia's rating in the world IT sector is gradually improving,"
Deputy Minister of Economy Vahe Danielyan told reporters today. An
evidence of the above-said is the cooperation of a number of famous
international companies with Armenian specialists and opening of
their branches in Armenia.
A proof of this is the entry of the "Microsoft" Innovation center, the
Mobile Solutions Regional Laboratory, the Armenian-Indian Information
and Telecommunication Excellence Center, the National Instruments,
the ST Kinetics companies to Armenia, specialists say.
The next large-scale project is the techno park in Gyumri, which is
expected to be launched this year.
The small market and the restricted opportunities of cooperation with
other countries are the main challenges to the Armenian IT sector.
Another problem is that Armenian specialists have no opportunity to
implement their programs in the Armenian economy.
Bagrat Yengibaryan, Director of the Enterprise Incubator Foundation,
attaches importance to the fact that local companies are also
developing.
