Armenia: local business and learning hub opens in InnoIjevan with EU support

July 5 2023

The official opening of the InnoIjevan centre took place on 30 June in Ijevan, Tavush region of Armenia. This is a local business and learning hub, launched with EU funding.

The first of its kind in the region, the InnoIjevan centre will host businesses and provide co-working spaces and four learning labs for students of Ijevan Real School. 

This Centre aims to develop entrepreneurship in the tourism, agriculture and food processing sectors by creating an ecosystem focused on education and skills development among youth, SME incubation and acceleration, and private-public partnerships in Ijevan.

It was created as a result of a project with the same name, launched in February 2022. It is implemented by the Ijevan municipality, the Union of Advanced Technology Enterprises-UATE and CoWo-coworking network, with funding from the European Union in Armenia, within the ‘Enhancing economic development of Ijevan through leveraging PPP and creating local eco-system for innovative development‘ grant project.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
