The 3rd Annual Armenian Information Technology (IT) Conference kicked
off in Yerevan today. In light of the latest political and economic
developments, the conference aims to analyze the current opportunities
and challenges and define IT industry priorities for the future.

The conference will raise and seek solutions to Armenia’s
telecommunication sector development, will highlight how academic
partnerships can result in competitive educational curricula, and
how the creation of venture capital funds can support the development
and expansion of high tech businesses.

"Our IT sphere is in the stage of formation. The experience of the
countries in crisis has showed that the service sector is the most
steadfast. The fields of tourism and Information Technologies managed
to resist the crisis better than others. I hope no decline will be
registered in the IT sphere. The most challenging in the sphere is the
issue of preparing high-quality specialists," said Nerses Yeritsyan,
Armenian minister of Economy.
