Managing Adviser at the Union of Information Technologies Enterprises, UITE Expo Director Vahan Hovsepyan met with his Georgian and other foreign partners, including those from Albania, Bulgaria, Macedonia, Moldova, Ukraine and Latvia, as part of the ICT Development and Cyber Security Event GITI 2010 held between November 10 and 12 in Tbilisi, Georgia. Many of the event participants accepted the invitation of the Union of Information Technologies Enterprises to participate in the Digitec Business forum due in 2011 June.

“The aim of our visit to Georgia was to properly present Armenian IT sector, to gain new partners, to get acquainted with all possible ways for attending regional IT events. Unless we show that Armenia is a reliable partner, we will never meet adequate attitude,” UITE Expo Director Vahan Hovsepyan said stressing that the state should also play an important role in this issue.

“IT private sector needs state support, and it would be dishonest not to support the sector having huge capacities across the South Caucasus and Eastern Europe,” V. Hovsepyan said.

The Armenian delegation also visited the Embassy of Netherlands in Georgia and discussed cooperation in Armenian private sector with Netherlands government MMF, PSI economic cooperation programs, Nuffic educational program, ORIO state cooperation program.
