ArmInfo.Ardshinbank will become a partner of Sevan Startup Summit 2023, which will be held on July 23-29 on the shore of the Lake Sevan and will bring together entrepreneurs, investors, and startuppers from around the world.
The key objective of the summit is to create an effective business environment in the region, support development of the local startups and establish stable cooperation between the participants of the ecosystem. The Forum is held in the format of tent city and involves various forms of communication: educational programmes, business negotiations, and panel discussions. Traditionally, the Forum will be attended by independent investors and representatives of venture capital funds from all over the world.
“For us, this is a great opportunity to get acquainted with new ideas, new business trends and, why not, new clients, as well as to discuss Ardshinbank investment opportunities and the innovative digital solutions offered, and of course, to communicate in an informal setting with our Armenian startup companies, entrepreneurs and industry leaders,” said Artur Akopyan, Director of Small and Medium Business Department of Ardshinbank.
Harutyun Ispiryan, Ardshinbank Chief Digital and Talent Officer, absolutely agrees with him. “We perfectly understand the goals and objectives of the event and are ready to provide all possible support. We plan to hold an informal Camp Fire Talk, take part in panel discussions, act as a mentor, jury member. Ardshinbank will be attending the summit with a team of experts from different areas of the bank. I would like to emphasise that now Armenia has opportunities to present its business environment to the international community as one of the most attractive innovation territories in the region. It is very important that such platforms give young people the opportunity to present their innovative ideas and receive constructive advice from experts on their further promotion,” noted Harutyun Ispiryan.
It should be noted that Sevan Startup Summit has been held since 2016. After a short break, this year’s event will be attended by about 110 startups from AR-VR/smart city, as well as from finance, education, entertainment, healthcare and other sectors. Around 10,000 participants and visitors are expected to attend the event. During the previous Sevan Startup Summit, the reached investment agreements exceeded $1 million.
