A Global Acceleration Program Comes to Armenia! 🌟

The Ministry of High-Tech Industry starts a collaboration with Plug and Play.

In the scope of collaboration a 26-week program will be launched to empower Armenian startups. This program will offer consultation services, capacity building, business development, innovation support, and one-on-one mentoring.

Notably, Plug and Play's investment fund previously invested in a number of startups with Armenian founders such as Aarki (exited to Skills), SuperAnnotate and ModicusPrime.

Glad to see that the initiative started by the previous leadership of the ministry was successfully continued and implemented by the new leadership team.

We hope to hear more news coming out from this partnership. Can't wait to see program's impact on the Armenian startup ecosystem πŸ‡¦πŸ‡²πŸš€
