VIASPHERE, 1ST ARMENIAN TECHNOPARK: GOALS & ACHIEVEMENTS
With Synopsys Armenia as the largest tenant, the technopark also
works with Cubic GTS, SCDM, Apricot Mobile, LIGHT Craft, among others.
The 1st Armenian technopark, Viasphere, based on Transistor factory
was launched by Viasphere International U.S. company in Yerevan on
July 26, 2001. Back then, Viasphere International CEO Toni Moroyan
stated that the technology park will provide necessary infrastructure
to facilitate the launch of a business for local startups, including
provision of offices, computer networks, company management and
product promotion at worldwide markets.
October 30, 2013
PanARMENIAN.Net - He was true to his word: at present, the technology
park has 20 companies as tenants instead of 2 it started with.
With Synopsys Armenia as the largest tenant, the technopark also works
with Cubic GTS, SCDM, Apricot Mobile, LIGHT Craft, OZ soft, Rubin
laser technologies, Alias, Tandem payments, SG Design Electronics,
Smart-Tech, MTD, Damaris. The 14 000 square meter techno park area
accommodates offices, buildings, as well as a parking lot with a 200
car capacity.
It all started in 1991, when Toni Moroyan, then a senior executive at
Hitachi America visited Armenia on the invitation of its government
to help discover the country's potential in the IT sector and assess
the relevant resources. Efforts were taken to boost international
awareness of Armenia's IT sector, with partnership established with
leading companies worldwide.
Gradually, small IT companies, including Mosaic Armenia and Arset,
were launched in Armenia (in 1998-2000), to be later purchased by
Synopsys. Also, a new technopark opened following negotiations with
the government of Armenia. Viasphere International founder Toni
Moroyan was very careful in picking a location, to be situated far
from Yerevan center yet have a quick assess to the Armenian capital's
infrastructure. Shengavit district's Arshakunyats Street was chosen
as the technopark site to serve as a miniature IT campus in future.
Moroyan then persuaded the electronic design automation leader
Synopsys to pick Yerevan rather that Moscow to open its new office in,
brining the company's attention to opportunities and promising human
resources Armenia had to offer. Soon, Synopsys Armenia was supplying
its production to the U.S. Also, major investments were extended to
the country's IT sector and universities to acquire modern equipment
and train qualified experts.
Viasphere's current mission is development of leading companies
of future, promotion of high technologies in Armenia. Currently,
construction of new quarters to house new start-ups is ongoing in
technopark.
According to Moroyan, such companies must receive maximum support in
Armenia: even with only a few of them surviving, those which will are
going to be the ones to represent the country at international markets.
As he further noted, to develop hi-tech sector, Armenia needs a
well-developed strategy, as well as accomplished experts in specific
sectors such as microchip designing.
"The country needs IT specialists - there's a lot of jobs out there
- yet we cannot invite leading companies to establish presence in
Armenia for lack of experts. IT sector should be promoted in Armenia
as one providing a wide range of opportunities - from marketing
to engineering. The trained experts must be effectively engaged in
their respective lines to serve as Armenia's advantage in global IT
industry," Moroyan said.
