Microsoft Innovation Center (MIC), Microsoft RA, and the USAID-funded
Enterprise Development and Market Competitiveness (EDMC) Project held
the Armenian final for Imagine Cup 2013 on April 12, 2013.
After seven 15-minute presentations by competing teams, the Selection
Committee announced the Lionsharp Solutions team with their Voiceboard
Project as a winner. The project focuses on a Kinect-based voice
recognition board that facilitates brainstorming, creative interaction
and team discussion through voice and gesture commands. Through EDMC
support, Lionsharp Solutions will represent Armenia at the Imagine
Cup World Final 2013 in Saint Petersburg, Russia.
The competition was launched on March 20, when student teams of three
to four members, 16 years and older, were challenged to develop
inventive projects, innovative software applications, and present
real-world solutions to real-world problems. Seven applications were
submitted by April 8, most of which focused on the innovation category
of the contest.
Imagine Cup Armenia aims to help students develop new programming/IT
solutions and/or applications to boost innovation and address global
issues. The competition gathers the best programming talent in
Armenia and provides student teams a great opportunity to demonstrate
and enhance their knowledge and skills in finding solutions to
real-world problems, developing and bringing their approach to the
use of technology and software, getting training and consultation
from seasoned professionals, while also getting a chance to compete
with their international peers and represent Armenia in the final
stage of the Imagine Cup.
During the competition period, MIC Armenia and Microsoft RA teams
offered technological and business consultations to each team to help
transform their ideas into feasible projects. EDMC support for the
Armenian round of the Imagine Cup this year provides the winning team
participation in the world final, in an effort to nurture start-up
businesses, promote high-tech solutions for other industries, and
promote Armenia's high-tech image internationally.
The award ceremony was attended by First Deputy Minister of Economy
Karine Minasyan, U.S. Ambassador to Armenia John A.Heffern,
representatives of the Armenian IT sector, government, and the
international community, including Microsoft RA Director Grigor
Barseghyan, Microsoft Innovation Center Project Manager Yeva Hyusyan,
and EDMC Project Value Chain Competitiveness Team Leader Fred Levitan.
