“We had an increase in participants this year. Sixty five teams had submitted applications for participation, of which 15 were given the opportunity to attend the conference. I am also pleased to observe a qualitative change in the startup ideas that were pitched. The Armenian startups are attempting to address global issues through their projects rather than focusing on local small issues”, said Bagrat Yengibaryan, director of Enterprise Incubator Foundation.
