Today VivaCell-MTS General Manager Ralph Yirikian and Director of
Synopsys Armenia Hovik Musayelyan held a joint press conference
at VivaCell-MTS Headquarters. The press conference summed up the
joint programs of VivaCell-MTS in the sphere of Information and
Communications Technologies (ICT) in Armenia in 2012, as well as
presented the vision and future plans for 2013, company's press
service reported.
The development of the ICT sphere, discovering and encouraging young
talents, training of competitive specialists and improvement of the
quality of management - these are the major directions of activities
in the frames of cooperation between VivaCell-MTS and Synopsis Armenia.
For the implementation of long-term targeted projects in the sphere
of ICT in 2012 alone, VivaCell-MTS allocated more than AMD 75 million.
VivaCell-MTS stays committed to doing everything possible to guarantee
Armenia's progress in ICT sector by financing several programs on a
continuous basis.
VivaCell-MTS firmly believes that the ICT sector is a key for the
economic development of the country, and that self-sustaining and
long-term development of this sphere will help to secure a high
ranking for Armenia in the world. An important step in that direction
is the Global Award of the President of the Republic of Armenia for
Outstanding Contribution to Humanity through IT (GIT Award), which
has been sponsored by VivaCell-MTS for the past three years. GIT Award
annually honors a person, who has made extraordinary contributions to
humanity through advancing the world of IT. The award is an opportunity
to give momentum to developing ICT sector in Armenia and is very
important for strengthening Armenia's positive image internationally,
at the same time attracting talented youth to ICT sector in Armenia.
Future of a country depends on education system, especially for a
country such as Armenia, where education is essential in boosting
country's competitive advantage. Therefore, VivaCell-MTS is involved
in initiatives that encourage creative thinking and innovative skills.
For the third year in a row VivaCell-MTS has undertaken the general
sponsorship of the Annual International Microelectronics Olympiad of
Armenia, initiated and organized by Synopsys Armenia. The Olympiad aims
at stimulating further development of microelectronics in Armenia,
discovering young, talented resources, increasing interest towards
microelectronics among young specialists. During the past seven years
the Olympiad has grown in size and geographic diversity to become an
international event, attracting 418 participants from 14 countries
in 2012.
VivaCell-MTS has also made solid investment in upgrading the
quality of management in the sphere of ICT. VivaCell-MTS believes
that effective management is one of the key factors to our country's
future growth. For the second year already, the Company extended hands
to support the "Best IT Managers" Annual Award under the patronage of
the Prime Minister of Armenia; the annual award aimed at increasing
the professional qualifications of the Armenian managers working
in the sphere of ICT by providing them an opportunity to take a
post-graduate course in the most prestigious universities of the world.
A competitive ICT sector cannot exist without a high quality
workforce. In 2011 VivaCell-MTS has partnered with Synopsys Armenia
to start a successful cooperation program with "European Regional
Educational Academy" Foundation (ERA) to promote education in
Micro-electronic circuitry and systems of the communication means in
Armenia. The first educational lab was established due to VivaCell-MTS
financial investments and educational packages of electronic automated
design software provided by Synopsys. With the purpose in mind to
continuously invest locally in professional development of young
generation, VivaCell-MTS has sponsored the opening of the second
classroom at European Regional Academy in November 2012.
"Business should not stand apart from the society. It should consider
itself as part of the society, as a corporate citizen with clear
rights and responsibilities, which are not limited just to paying
taxes honestly. VivaCell-MTS believes that business should support
the long-term development of the society, by contributing to the
spheres of the economy which have potential for the country's economic
development, and ultimately, support the human development. It's not
a secret that the development of applied science has no alternative
in Armenia, a country with scarce and non-renewable natural resources.
Successful operation obliges sharing with the society, supporting
the youth in its endeavors, in its striving for better future in
the Homeland. Most importantly, each of us, individually, and as
a commercial entity, can and should contribute to the reduction
of work migration and to the brain drain, our number one enemy,
" VivaCell-MTS General Manager Ralph Yirikian told.
"Synopsys firmly believes that the key to sustainable results is the
continuous cooperation between government, business and academia",
said Director of Synopsys Armenia Hovik Musayelyan. "For several
years now VivaCell-MTS has been our dedicated partner, providing
a financial assistance to our joint long-term projects aimed at
development of ICT. We highly appreciate this partnership not only
because it directly supports the growing knowledge-based economy, but
also because it promotes the culture of corporate social responsibility
in our country."
The joint strategy of VivaCell-MTS and Synopsis Armenia aimed at
the development of the economy through discovering and improving
scientific potential and capacity will continue in 2013 also.
