40% of them representing Asia, 26% – European companies, 20% – American
companies and the rest – companies mainly from Middle East and Africa.
Particularly, Russia was represented in the Community by 11 companies,
Ukraine – by 7 companies, Azerbaijan – by 2 companies and Armenia –
only by one company.
Hayrapetian pointed out that the Community is the biggest and most
influential world forum that also gives exclusive opportunities of
establishing contacts at the highest level of world business elite.
"The membership in the Community of Global Growth Companies is a
serious breakthrough for us as it allows us establishing contacts with
biggest world companies," Hayrapetian said. Particularly, "Ameria"
got an excellent opportunity to reach a new level of development,
establish partnership and exchange experience and ideas with the
companies-members of World Economic Forum and to directly provide
information about Armenia’s market and investment potential to the
participants of the forum.
The second meeting of the New Champions is to be held in the Chinese
city Tianzhin in summer 2008.
