This country had a constant economic and industrial development
starting from 1991 when it became independent. The Armenian
government stimulates foreign investors to invest in the country
treating them as local entrepreneurs. So Armenia is one of the
countries that are more open to foreign investments. There are
different areas and sectors that are interesting for Italian
enterprises: the building sector, the food industry sector, the
textile sector and the tourist industry sector. Italy has a tradition
of excellence in these sectors.
