It was later recognized by the Government of Armenia as the country’s business platform in high technologies conceived to ensure professional progress in Armenia’s technology sector and promote its rapid growth. The first ArmTech was held in San Francisco, CA, US, following which it evolved into an annual event occurring consecutively in Armenia and the U.S.
