More than five dozen IT companies attended the DigiTec Business Forum
in the Armenian capital of Yerevan last week.
Prime Minister Hovik Abrahamyan welcomed the participants and said
that the IT sector is crucial to the Armenian economy.
"Information technology and telecommunications have become the fastest
growing sectors of Armenia's economy, leading to enhanced productivity,
technological innovation and the emergence of a knowledge-based
economy," Abrahamyan said. "Our achievements in the IT sector inspire
confidence that in the near future Armenia may become a leading
country in the region."
Among the 13 foreign companies taking part in the forum was Russia's
ARinteg, which participated for the first time. The Armenian-Russian
and Armenian-Dutch business conferences were held on the sidelines
of the forum.
Abrahamyan said the new government would do everything possible to
help IT industry develop.
"The government is going to provide practical assistance to this
industry, which is of paramount importance to our country's economy."
Additionally, Abrahamyan also said the government would work to assist
small- and medium-sized businesses.
"We have undertaken to grant benefits to small and medium-sized
enterprises, with a relevant bill being discussed at the National
Assembly," Abrahamyan said. "The projected steps are meant to prevent
major businesses from working in the shade: our goal is to make all
of them work in the tax field."
