The Armenian Technology Congress (ArmTech) announced the launch of
ArmTech ’07, a global high-technology-focused event to be held in San
Francisco July 4-7, 2007, at the Fairmont Hotel. This is the first high
technology congress and exhibition designed for professionals
interested in engaging in the global Armenian community and the rapidly
rising technology sector of Armenia. Designed to promote both
professional networking and valuable connections for operating
companies and entrepreneurs, the event will feature presentations of
the technology achievements and challenges of Armenia by numerous
operating companies, service providers, academic institutions, and
government officials from the US, Armenia, and around the world. The
Armenian Development Agency (ADA) is an organizational sponsor of the
event and provides extensive development and marketing support.
`The time is right for an international event to draw together
professionals who want to engage in the global Armenian community and
support the rapidly rising technology sector of Armenia,’ said Tony
Moroyan, the founder and co-chair of ArmTech Congress and a principal
executive of venture and incubation activities including Viasphere
International in Armenia. `ArmTech, envisaged as recurring every two
years, is an unprecedented opportunity to obtain business and
professional information and make key connections spanning the high
tech industry, as well as with government representatives from Armenia
and within the US, major players in the financial and services sectors,
and leading academics.’
`The sphere of high technology has quite developed in Armenia, and
investor interest is increasing,’ said Vahagn Movsisyan, General
Director of Armenian Development Agency and co-chair of ArmTech
Congress in Armenia. `Much has changed since the major Armenian
investment conference in New York in 2001, and now it is necessary to
redefine in depth the optimal directions. We are delighted to support
ArmTech ’07 as a globally inclusive program to increase understanding
and support among foreign investors and other stakeholders, fostering
the trust and opportunities that will drive the increasing growth and
sophistication of high tech economic activity in Armenia.’
