Armenia’s Minister of High-Tech Industry and Artificial Intelligence, Davit Tadevosyan, met representatives of the US Chamber of Commerce and leading companies, including Visa, Mercuria and FedEx, during a working visit to the United States.

Tadevosyan wrote on Facebook that the meeting focused on prospects for positioning Armenia as a regional hub for research and development (R&D) and engineering, with an emphasis on artificial intelligence, semiconductors, cybersecurity and advanced manufacturing.

“We outlined practical steps to help our companies enter international markets, launch joint R&D projects and host a US business delegation in Armenia in the near future,” Tadevosyan wrote.
