Despite the fact that in 2009 the spheres of information and
telecommunications showed a 17% growth, however, due to challenges,
this growth isn't enough, said Executive Director of the Union of
Information Technologies Enterprises Karen Vardanian at the press
conference Wednesday.
He said that in line with the concept of the IT sphere, adopted by
Armenia's government in 2008, some 1,000 technology companies are
to operate in the country by 2018. Given the risks and the fact that
only 1/3 or 1/5 of companies survive, it is necessary to create 3,000
companies, according to Vardanian.
"Some 30 companies are being established in Armenia without any
interference, including government's interference that is 10 times
less than we were planning. This is a serious challenge which makes
start up process of creation of a special infrastructure for new
companies," he said.
Vardanian told that in certain times Singapore faced the similar
problem when young specialists preferred to work at multinational
corporations instead of making business.
"This was 90/10 ratio; however, after efforts it changed and became
40 against 60; and now 60 are seeking for own company. I hope that
we will move towards this direction," said Vardanian.
