Yerevan, June 19. ArmInfo. Over one thousand of specialists who
participated in educational programs of Enterprise Incubator Foundation
(EIF) for the last three years successfully work in the sphere,
Head of EIF Bagrat Yengibaryan told ArmInfo.

He said 70% of these specialists are students of Yerevan State
University, Yerevan State Engineering University, and Armenian-Russian

retraining courses. B. Yengibaryan said despite this high indicator,

branches at higher education universities of Armenia with support of
international organizations, including 6 branches independently.

University.
