Armenia’s long-term vision is to become a global technology hub known for innovation, quality, and excellence, where we create and build new industries and sectors, Armenia’s Minister of High-Tech Industry Mkhitar Hayrapetyan told Al Jazeera.
“We aspire to build a vibrant tech ecosystem that naturally attracts top talent and foreign investment,” he said.
Hayrapetyan said his government is especially focused on the potential of AI.
“AI is not just a buzzword now but also a driver of public administration transformation and delivery of quality of public services; it’s key to increase your productivity by redesigning our operations,” he said.
“According to numerous international independent reports, our highly educated and technology-focused population gives Armenia a unique advantage in becoming a global leader in AI and machine learning. To fully harness this potential, we recognize that investing in human capital is paramount.”
