YEREVAN (ArmRadio)-The ArmNet 2013 series of IT events will be held
in Yerevan starting November 1st, in parallel with the Pan-Armenian
Web contest ArmNet Awards 2013. ArmNet 2013 will be jointly organized
by Maeutica Branding Agency, Orange Armenia and The Internet Society
(ISOC).
ArmNet 2013 is designed to evaluate the achievements of the Armenian
Internet sector and contribute to its further development.
ArmNet 2013 presents a series of three events aimed at the development
of information technologies and especially mobile technologies
in Armenia.
The first event of the project is the ArmNet Awards 2013- an Armenian
website contest that aims to identify and award the best Web resources
of the Armenian Internet sector. Prizes will be awarded in the
following categories: Design and Usability, Innovation, Technological
Development, Best Content, Breakthrough of the Year, Social impact,
Grand Prix, People's Choice, and Special Prize from Orange.
Registration for participation in ArmNet 2013 will start on November
1. The jury of ArmNet Awards 2013 will examine and evaluate all
websites submitted for the contest and choose the winners. On the
25th of November the shortlist of websites and mobile applications
in each nomination category will be presented by jury members.
In parallel with the jury's work, SMS voting, provided and supervised
by Nikita Mobile Company, will be carried out. Everyone will be
able to vote for their favorite websites by sending an SMS to1041
with a special code for each participant website. It is allowed to
vote only once for any website, but the number of sites for which
subscribers can vote for is unlimited. This will decide the winner
of the "People's Choice" award.
The competition results will be announced on the 30th of November at
the official award ceremony.
"We plan to make ArmNet a more effective platform for participants,
not only in the sense of making new business connections with
representatives of global companies, but a platform for achieving
vital knowledge in making their startups into real businesses. That's
why we are glad and proud that mentors from Skolkovo Startup Academy
will tell our participants about the essence of the global startup
ecosystem during a whole day. Very often genius business ideas do
not reach their first investor," said Haykuhi Taksildaryan, Maeutica
Branding Agency director.
"Web sites are developed each year, offering the most advanced
solutions for Internet connection. Today it is almost impossible
to imagine our life without websites and mobile applications, many
have forgotten about newspapers and even TV programs. Armenia has the
greatest potential of young web developers, designers, photographers,
who, in our opinion, are able to compete in international markets. The
participation of the Internet Society in the ArmNet project is
inevitable and at the same time honorable. I want to wish good luck
to all ArmNet 2013 participants; regardless of whether or not they
will win the prize, the important thing is participation," said ISOC
Armenia representative Grigor Saghyan.
International and local speakers will deliver their speeches during
the annual IT conference, on the 30th of November, within the scope
of the ArmNet 2013 theme "Total mobilization - mobile technologies
in everyday life."
For the first time in Armenia, on the 29th of November, ArmNet 2013
will host the Startup Day event. Mentors from Skolkovo Startup Academy
Lawrence Wright (director) and Gary A. Fowler (Fowler International LLC
director and Skolkovo Startup Academy professor) will lead workshops in
"Startup Battle" and will present a special prize for the winning team.
