    and economic strength, IT is considered to be one of the key factors to
    our country's economic growth. Working in the ICT sector, witnessing
    the everyday achievements of Armenian specialists, we know for sure
    that Armenia has a huge unrealized potential for national achievements
    in the sphere of high technologies, and for the economic growth, as
    its outcome. Therefore, it is our duty to support important national
    projects encouraging further development of this sphere," noted

    the Global IT Award as it is an excellent tool for strengthening
    Armenia's positive image in the sphere of IT in the world."

    The award is an opportunity to encourage the development of information
    technologies in Armenia and is very important in terms of positioning
    Armenia on the world map as a country with potential for higher
    achievements in the sphere of high-tech. VivaCell-MTS is sure that the
    Armenian youth is talented and has huge potential of self-development,
    and they just need support to realize that potential, to express
    oneself and find the true path. The GIT award has a potential to
    attract young Armenians attention to the IT sphere.
