The European Union wants to make Armenia an attractive country for investment, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said during a press conference after the inaugural Armenia–EU summit in Yerevan.
“We want to make Armenia an attractive country for investment. You have talent, you have human resources, and you have important resources. What you need is investment and infrastructure. This is partly provided directly by the European Union, but also through EU investment and de-risking measures, which create opportunities for the business sector to invest in Armenia,” von der Leyen said when asked by Armenpress about the areas in which the European Union is ready to support Armenia, including the opportunities that will emerge following the unblocking of communications in the South Caucasus.
“You have just witnessed the signing and handover of six letters of intent to leading funds and companies, which are already convinced that this is the right place to invest. The de-risking component provided by the EU creates a very favorable environment for the business sector to come here and implement projects of interest,” she added.
The signing of the first Letters of Intent with selected private sector partners in the fields of digital infrastructure, semiconductor skills, innovation ecosystems, and private investment mobilisation took place during the summit.
