Government and Industry Leaders Support ArmTech ‘09. Read a few excerpts about what they have to say.

Dear Associates,
It is the third time in a row that Armenia will be participating at the ArmTech Congress. Although within this short period, the Congress has become already prominent both in motherland and Diaspora, it serves the communication and cooperation of Armenian professionals in the high technology industry, goal, where all the efforts of Armenian Government are directed. Due to the circumstances, ArmTech in its initial stage was hit by the new challenge-recession and financial crisis, when all the countries reported economic decline. It is obvious today, that after awhile, when the economic development will again proceed as usual, the world will never be the same. Therefore, certain reforms are required to perform today. In this very sense, ArmTech is a unique opportunity that provides a chance to discuss and develop an objective dialogue of communities, project Armenia's economic development priorities and create favorable conditions to implement them.

-His Excellency Tigran Sargsyan, Prime Minister of RA
