The Armenian high tech industry Conference (ArmTech) announced today
that it will hold its 2009 conference for showcasing the global high
tech industry capabilities of the Republic of Armenia from November
5 through 8 in Silicon Valley, California. ArmTech Congress ’09 will
take place at the Fairmont Hotel in San Jose, California. This is the
third annual ArmTech Congress conceived under the theme of "learning
from the past and inventing the future." The event is designed for
professionals interested in engaging the global Armenian community
and the rapidly rising High Tech Industry sector in Armenia.
ArmTech Congress ’09 will take place under the high patronage of the
prime minister of Armenia. The government of the Republic of Armenia
(RA) stresses the importance of ArmTech Congress as a platform to
discuss, plan and execute policies and actions to keep Armenia on
its current path of steady technological and economic achievement,
and increasing global recognition as one of the fastest growing
high tech destinations in the world. ArmTech Congress provides an
unmatched opportunity to obtain business and professional information,
and to connect with government representatives, major players in the
financial and services sectors, and leading academics from Armenia,
the U.S. and elsewhere around the world.
The20three-day program includes general sessions and breakout tracks
that address critical high tech industry topics. Keynote speakers
include His Excellency Tigran Sargsyan, the prime minister of the
Republic of Armenia, other government officials from Armenia and the
U.S., senior executives from the high tech industry and officials
from academia.
"The achievements of Armenia’s high tech industry in recent years,
as well as the essential need to advance the technological Armenian
community, urge us to improve communications and cooperation among
professionals in high tech, establish international business
skills and perfect advanced high tech Industry composition. We
must also develop new contacts and business opportunities to create
compatible, comprehensive operations that improve Armenia’s business
and information high tech industry environment," said RA Prime Minister
Tigran Sargsyan.
"I am hopeful that ArmTech Congress will possess constructional
character and unite allies who, as a result of their discussions,
will introduce advanced concepts and new approaches and solutions
for the high tech sector. This sector’s evolution is significant,
especially during the recession. I am sure it will greatly promote
knowledge-based economic development in Armenia," said RA Minister
of Economy Nerses Yeritsyan.
"I encourage the organizers, participants and guests of ArmTech
Congress ’09 to maximize the significan t opportunities the conference
will provide to discuss Armenia’s current achievements and future
developments in the high tech sector. This sector has high potential
and the event will undoubtedly promote cooperation among Armenians,
Diasporans and international companies, as well as future investments,"
said Robert Harutyunyan, general director of the Armenian Development
Agency.
"ArmTech is honored to receive the support of his excellency the
prime minister, other dignitaries and speakers, the committee members,
the participants and the media for ArmTech Congress ’09. We return to
Silicon Valley this November to further strengthen and highlight the
significance of the synergy between Yerevan, which strives to become
a high tech market leader, and Silicon Valley, which is already
the acknowleged world leader," said Tony Moroyan, co-founder and
co-chairman of ArmTech Congress, and a high tech industry executive.
"The first two ArmTech Congresses have established ArmTech as a
substantial force in positively shaping the future of Armenia’s
high tech sector. ArmTech provides a forum for business, government
and academia to come together and really make a difference," said
Rich Goldman, co-founder and co-chairman of ArmTech Congress, and
a high tech industry executive. "In bringing these areas together,
ArmTech is establishing a high tech business platform that serves
as a blueprint for progress and accountability. This November,
we will review the progress on this platform and continue to move
forward on establishing Armenia as a globally recognized high tech
destination. This year’s ArmTech holds the promise of exceeding the
achievements of the first two events."
