`Innovation, Competitiveness and Economic growth' congress was held in
Yerevan today. The discussions focused on four topics: innovation,
private-public cooperation, public services and e-society, and the
role of information technologies in national competitiveness and
educational systems.
`Competitiveness is a most important tool in the world,' Head of the
Armenian Represnetatons of the Microsoft Company Grigor Barseghyan
said.
`The 21st century is a competition in the intellectual field, a
competition in the filed of creation of new knowledge,' Prime Minister
Tigran Sargsyan said in his opening remarks.
`The countries, which pay great attention to knowledge and
infrastructures that provide people with an opportunity to conduct
research and create new knowledge come out victors in this
competition,' the Prime Minister said.
Touching upon the cooperation between the public and private sectors,
the prime minister said this format has succeeded in many countries.
According to him, the state has created a new platform with the
private sector, where the state does not play a primary role in
decision-making; on the contrary it ensures that the decisions are
made by the private sectors. `In this regard, the conditions of
competition remain equal for all branches,' the Prime Minister said.
`To be competitive we need to have a competitive education system.
This means that the cooperation with educational establishments should
be of significant importance. The countries, which manage to build an
effective educational system, will have an opportunity to ensure their
competitiveness,' the Prime Minister said.
