CALIFORNIA, USA - ArmTech Congress 2012, conceived under the theme
of 'learning from the past and inventing the future', launched
today in Silicon Valley in California, USA. The Department of
Civil and Environmental Engineering at Stanford University hosted
the conference. For the fifth time this business forum has brought
together over 120 executives from the high-tech industry, researchers,
representatives of academia and the venture capital community, as
well as senior government officials from Armenia to discuss Armenia's
high-tech sector, explore prospects that will further the development
of the industry in Armenia as well as increase opportunities for U.S.
businesses.
ArmTech 2012 is organized through the joint efforts of the Government
of Armenia, the USAID-funded Enterprise Development and Market
Competitiveness (EDMC) Project, Enterprise Incubator Foundation
(EIF), ViaSphere Technopark, Armenian Development Agency (ADA),
Synopsys Armenia, the Armenian American Chamber of Commerce, and
Groupement Interprofessionnel International Armenien (G2IA).
USAID's assistance to ArmTech 2012 involves facilitation of
business-to-business meetings, visits to relevant partners in Silicon
Valley, public awareness initiatives, as well as general support to
the organization of the conference.
Four interactive panel sessions will be held this year, allowing
the participants and presenters to discuss possible directions
for Armenia's high-tech economy in the coming few years. The first
session, "High Tech Industry in Armenia: Recent Developments and
Success Stories," will be moderated by Michael Malone, celebrated
author and columnist, and will feature Armenian Prime Minister
Tigran Sargsyan, U.S. Ambassador to Armenia John Heffern, and senior
executives from Synopsys Inc., Intel, and D-Link Corporations. The
second session will focus on "Research, Innovation and Professional
Development" with professors and directors from Stanford University,
American University of Armenia, Armenian Microsoft Innovation Center,
and Luys Foundation as panel speakers. During the third session on
"Business Environment and Investment Opportunities" participants
will hear from Armenian Minister of Economy Tigran Davtyan, heads of
PanArmenian Bank, ADA, EIF, Vice President of the Pragma Corporation
