Armenia’s IT sector continues developing-Karen Vardanyan

Executive Director of UITE told reporters on Wednesday that despite the economic situation in Armenia IT sector continues developing at the same rate as our country registers 25% annual growth.

As he said Highly skilled IT engineers are in great demand throughout the world.
There are more than 2 million vacancies throughout the world now, with this number to rise up to 3 million by 2018.

“The education sector needs new approaches, we need to elaborate programs that would enable IT companies to work in Armenia’s regions.

This requires reduction of income taxes for the IT companies working in the country borderline regions, which would prove to be stimulus to the IT companies working in Yerevan and they would open their branches in Armenia’s regions”, he said.

Mr. Vardanyan added that about 90 engineering laboratories are operating throughout Armenia now, with 130 to 140 to be opened.
