National Competitiveness Foundation of Armenia

The National Competitiveness Foundation of Armenia is an independent entity founded through a partnership between the Government of Armenia and a group of leading representatives of the private sector from the United States, Russia, the European Union and the Middle East. Our mandate is to achieve breakthrough development toward national competitiveness in key areas of economic activity.

The Foundation is focused on Education, Healthcare and Tourism - sectors where there is great unrealized potential for development and a clear competitive advantage in a global and regional setting. It also implements projects designed to create the enabling environment for development across sectors, focusing on the exchange of knowledge and knowhow in the context of global networks.

The Foundation operates through public-private partnerships, mobilizing strategic investments which have the potential of catalyzing development and accelerating progress toward competitiveness. Our board of trustees is composed of six international business leaders, six high level representatives of the Government of Armenia, and one representative of international development organizations.
