Microsoft Innovation Center Celebrates Anniversary

11.05.2012

Microsoft Innovation Center Armenia is one year old! A product of the joint efforts of Enterprise Incubator Foundation, USAID and Microsoft RA, MIC Armenia officially opened on May 11, 2011 to become a hub of innovation and creativity for talented technology youth in Armenia.

Though in its early infancy, MIC Armenia presents impressive statistics: more than 1200 graduates of advanced technology and  managerial trainings, 5 idea generation and development contests – both local and international, 15 teams supported from consulting to incubation and currently working to bring their products up to international market standards, 1^st startup created and successfully operating, five more startups to be registered within months.

The mission of MIC Armenia, however, goes beyond statistics. It introduces a fresh and alternative approach to innovation enhancement and professional development. It synthesizes the most advanced western practices in technology youth cultivation and business grooming with local brainpower and creativity to report amazing results, which earned the International Marketing Excellence Award of Microsoft Corporation,  and  the special acknowledgement from USAID for best public-private partnership project.

Hachathone/yan/ Yerevan, Imagine Cup Armenia, Your  Phone-Your Apps, and many more events, projects and contests have made MIC Armenia a name known to all technology youth in Armenia, and a home for those with ideas and enthusiasm.

Our congratulations to MIC Armenia for its first birthday and wonderful achievements.
