ArmTech Congress 2012, Silicon Valley
The fifth global Armenian high-tech industry conference and strategic
business forum, ArmTech Congress 2012, kicked off at the Department of
Civil and Environmental Engineering at Stanford University. The Prime
Minister of Armenia, Tigran Sargsyan, the US Ambassador to Armenia,
John Heffern, are among the dignitaries and top industry executives
attending the Congress. The objective of this strategic business
forum is to bring executives from high tech industry; researchers
and officials from academia; representatives from the venture capital
community and other investors as well as top Government officials from
the Silicon Valley, Armenia, Europe and other geographic locations
to explore the next generation of emerging markets and related
technologies in the Silicon Valley and Armenia, and to help setting
the next stage of high tech industry development in Armenia.
"The progress and achievements of Armenia's high tech industry in
recent years, as well as the essential need to advance the Armenian
technological community, urge us to improve communication and
cooperation among professionals in high tech, establish international
business skills and perfect advanced high tech industry composition.
We must also develop new contacts and business opportunities to
create compatible, comprehensive operations that improve Armenia's
business and information high tech industry environment," said RA
Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan.
"The IT Sector holds great promise for mutually-beneficial partnerships
between Armenia and the United States. American IT investments are
helping to transform Armenia in to a 21st Century knowledge-based
economy, exactly what the country needs. Thanks to all the organizers
of ArmTech for this important conference and to all the participants
for their contribution to the growth of US-Armenian economic ties. I
also welcome the participation of the Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan,
a champion of the IT sector in Armenia," said the US Ambassador to
Armenia, John Heffern.
"Perspectives of Armenian economy are considerably conditioned by
hi-tech sector development," emphasized Tigran Davtyan, the Minister
of Economy of the Republic of Armenia.
"Being actively involved along with other investors and high tech
executives in helping architect the transition since the fall of
Soviet Union and independence of Armenia which left Armenia at zero
economy, I have seen the miracle of how this small country has been
able to rise within few short years to an enviable level in high tech
industry and start contributing to the global community. We greatly
appreciate the Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering for
hosting this unique event on Stanford University campus" said Tony
Moroyan, a Silicon Valley high tech industry veteran and the Co-founder
of ArmTech Congress.
"The fifth ArmTech Congress brings together the highest level
ofArmenia's government, business leaders, and academies in a show
case of the high tech business economy inArmenia. The Congress has
evolved from its early stages of discussions on building a high tech
economy inArmeniato today's celebration of the successes of high tech
inArmenia. Though there will always be more to do,Armenia's progress
has been impressive, indeed!"
"As new economies emerge, we see a great potential for building
smart and sustainable infrastructure using advanced technologies,
exploring implementation of new materials and building technologies,
addressing issues of environmental impact that may have been long
ignored and sharing our expertise on how to deal with disasters. The
ArmTech Congress provides a unique opportunity to explore our ideas
in addressing these issues. We are delighted to host the event and
look forward to a productive interaction." said Anne Kiremidjian,
Professor of Civil & Environmental Engineering at Stanford University.
The event will showcase the impressive development of the global
high-tech industry capabilities of the Republic of Armenia (RA) by
