The plan to turn Gyumri into a technological center can now be
considered a reality in part, as Armenia's second largest city on
Saturday launched its industrial park in a ceremony attended by
high-ranking guests.
The initiative is part of a larger project aimed at making Gyumri an
industrial center equipped with modern technologies, says Bagrat
Yengibaryan, the director of the Enterprise Incubator Foundation.
"This is an exceptional opportunity for Armenia in terms of training
high-quality human resources and making investments based on them.
International organizations' presence in Gyumri will, in turn, help
create a highly-paid workforce which will have its impact on raising
not only the education level but also the living standards," he told
reporters covering the event.
The ceremony was attended by President Serzh Sargsyan, Minister of
Economy Karen Cshmarityan, Mayor of Gyumri Samvel Balasanyan and many
other guests.
In his speech, Minister Cshmarityan said that the Armenian Government
works consistently to promote the continuing growth of IT and High
Tech industries (which it has declared a priority trend).
"Considering Gyumri's role in the economy of Armenia, the existing
potential of technological development, the presence of corresponding
physical infra-structures and educational institutions, as well as the
technological traditions, the Armenian Government made a decision to
found a technological center here. I am confident that the center will
play an essential role in the training of quality specialists, the
improvement of the business and investment atmosphere and the solution
of the socio-economic problems in Gyumri. It will also boost the
sector's development," he noted.
