Armenian Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan on Thursday attended the
opening of new premises of the regional mobile solutions laboratory,
mLab ECA, in Yerevan.
According to the government’s official website, Sargsyan was shown
around the premises where he also got acquainted with innovative
projects of young people studying at the laboratory.
mLab ECA was established in Armenia in 2011 with the aim of promoting
mobile connection-related innovations and ensuring sustainable
development of regions. The program is implemented by the Enterprise
Incubator Foundation with financial assistance from the Armenian
government, the World Bank, the government of Finland and the world’s
well-known mobile phone manufacturer Nokia.
Nokia has founded five similar laboratories around the world. The one
in Armenia covers the region of Eastern Europe, the South Caucasus
and Central Asia. Two similar laboratories operate in Africa and the
other two in Asia.
It is noteworthy that Armenia presented the largest number of ideas
in the Mobile Microwork Challenge contest announced by Nokia and mLab,
beating India and all countries of Eastern Europe, Asia and Africa.
