Innovative technologies is Armenia's fastest-growing industry and Armenian Virtual Bridge is making it possible for Silicon Valley to sit up and take notice.

Through Armenian Virtual Bridge, Armenia's most promising startups and inventors interface and interact with the Silicon Valley elite through well-defined acceleration and incubation programs, including training workshops, seminars, pitch days and networking events, raising awareness of Armenia's competitive advantages as an excellent place to invest and do business in the high tech space.

Out of hundreds of applications, Armenian Virtual Bridge selects the top 15 individuals and companies in fields as varied as robotics, cybersecurity, e-commerce, ed-tech, digital arts, design and more. ensure that Armenia maintains industry dominance in the region and attracts foreign investors worldwide.

An eight-week program with comprehensively designed training workshops, seminars and engagement opportunities offer further development of business strategies and soft skills.

I thoroughly enjoyed meeting with innovative startups to provide them with the Silicon Valley perspective on how to launch, grow, develop and finance their business. I wish them all the best as they expand their reach and I look forward to supporting other startups from Armenia in the future.
