On May 30th, ONEArmenia, a for-purpose organization focused on building a sustainable Armenian economy, launched a new campaign to accelerate the development of engineering labs throughout Armenia. The project is called Hye Tech Kids, and its goals are ambitious.

In the past six years, the IT industry in Armenia has been growing by an average of 22 percent annually. The IT sector now employs more than 15,000 people, accounts for 5 percent of the country’s GDP, and is a solid bet in a landlocked country with strong math skills.

These realities, coupled with a few success stories for Armenian companies in the tech world, have caused some to go as far as dubbing Armenia “the Silicon Valley of the Caucasus.”
