/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Starting February 2010 Ameria CJSC has been
involved in the preparatory stage of Phase II for the Technology and
Competitiveness Enhancement Project implemented by the Government
of RA through the Ministry of Economy of RA. The project is funded
by the World Bank and includes implementation of the Innovation
Infrastructure and Yerevan Technopark projects.

The main goal of the project is to build an innovative and competitive
knowledge-based society. The project is aimed at creation of relevant
environment in Armenia to ensure infrastructure, e-services and
other support facilities which would enhance competitiveness of IT
and high-tech companies.

Ameria will be specifically involved in development of Yerevan
Technopark Project, including design of feasibility study,
identification of area, business plan development and partner
identification.

Yerevan Technopark Project is aimed at creation of a large-scale
technopark in the vicinity of Yerevan including office buildings,
educational centers, conference halls and other facilities, supporting
venture and startup businesses, and if possible, other support
infrastructures (banks, hotels, restaurants, etc.). The project will
create opportunities to provide an all-embracing infrastructure,
including the necessary premises and services, for the Yerevan and
Armenia-based companies which specialize in programming and high-tech.

The technopark will provide various services to the high-tech
organizations on "one stop-shop principle" in various fields such as
infrastructure, finance, training, marketing, and other important
spheres for the growth and development of startup companies. The
technopark will have high-speed internet access.
