Education
Innovation is at the core of the Foundation's education strategy which is focused on universities and their links to research and industry.
CONVERGENCE CENTER PROJECT
The Convergence Center will link pockets of academic excellence into a critical mass to promote competitiveness. Based on an innovative model that combines academic and research facilities with industry and commerce, the Center will offer funding and shared resources to universities and will broker their relationships with leading academic centers abroad.
Healthcare
Armenia has the potential to become a regional leader in the diagnosis and treatment of oncological and cardiovascular diseases.
NUCLEAR MEDICINE PROJECT
Armenia has the potential to become a regional leader in nuclear medicine and a center of excellence in oncology and cardiology. The $40 million Nuclear Medicine Project will lay the foundations for realizing this potential by acquiring the latest technology in the field and partnering with foreign investors for the transfer of technology and knowhow to Armenia.
Tourism
Armenia has a significant unrealized competitive advantage in tourism.
Our country is poised to enter its expansion phase in high-value leisure tourism with great opportunities for development.
TATEV REVIVAL PROJECT
A UNESCO World Heritage candidate, the Tatev monastic complex is located in a spectacular natural setting. The $25 million project consists of several components: conserving the complex, reviving its monastic and scholarly tradition, developing tourism products in the adjacent river gorge and villages, and building the world's longest reversible aerial tramway.
Networks
In addition to its sector-specific programs in education, healthcare and tourism, the Competitiveness Foundation develops programs aimed at promoting competitiveness through increased access to knowledge and knowhow.
BROADBAND ARMENIA
The Broadband Armenia Project will extend high-performance internet infrastructure throughout the country. It will strengthen Armenia's linkages with international telecommunications backbones, increase reliability, and lower the price of internet services. The resulting broadband infrastructure will create new opportunities for entrepreneurship and innovation.
