Armenian IT industry grew by 29% in 2017, minister says
The growth of Armenia's information technology (IT) sector reached 29% in 2017, which is a good result, Minister of Transport, Communication and IT Vahan Martirosyan stated at a meeting with Brian McFeeters, Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary in the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Economic and Business Affairs.
Martirosyan noted that the results can be even improved considering the prospects of the sector development and the high professional qualities of Armenian specialists. Martirosyan pointed to the successful cooperation between Armenia and the United States in the IT sector, expressing hope it would further expand and develop in the future.
In particular, the minister wished to see American scientific-research labs operating in our country.
Brian McFeeters, in turn, noted the IT industry is the sphere where Armenia realizes the potential of its educated citizens as the best natural resource of the country.
He vowed to work with the Armenian government in the sphere of cybersecurity, digitization as well as encourage American entrepreneurs to invest in transport projects underway in Armenia.
