CHS and Headtechnology in Digitec Business Forum 2010

Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan attended today the opening of DigiTec Business-2010 third annual forum-exposition. Held under the Prime Minister’s high patronage from June 9 through June 10, 2010, this forum is meant to promote a sustained dialog between business and technologies in an effort to help expand the IT sector in the Republic of Armenia.

Tigran Sargsian mentioned certain indices of the IT sphere, noting that growth stability tendency is observed here. Thus, despite the economic crisis and GDP decline in Armenia, growth was registered in this sphere in 2009. Prime Minister noted that in 2009 the income of IT sphere made $130mln, $70mln of which fell on the share of export. He also stressed that IT share in Armenia’s GDP can already be compared to the ore-raw material industry. At that, 5 thousand people are employed in IT sphere in Armenia.

Armenian Prime Minister noted that one of the important issues at this forum is export and promotion of dual-purpose products and technologies on the territory of Armenia. He noted that a workgroup has already been set up in order to solve this issue. It will present its suggestions in the nearest future.

Besides Armenian companies, companies from Albania, Bulgaria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Holland, Kosovo, Moldova, Macedonia and Romania also participate in “DigiTec Business 2010” Exhibition-Forum.
