The annual "Sevan Startup Summit" tented business forum, which is being organized by the "Startup Armenia" foundation for the second year, will take place this year from July 24 to 31. Ameriabank has joined the initiative as the main partner and provider of the main prize of the main event of the forum - "Big Battle".
2017 The summit will be organized again on the shore of Lake Sevan. More than 100 startup teams, angel investors, developers, business trainers, mentors invited from different countries of the world will be in a business environment full of competitions, discussions and discoveries for 7 days and will enjoy their rest within the most popular, most active and most effective event of the summer.
This is another big step in the process of creating a new quality collaboration platform, a platform where hundreds of people can make new, strong connections, learn, improve, compete with their ideas and win, enjoy relaxation and fun. The goal of the summit is to become a stimulus for the development of the startup system. Ameriabank will also contribute to this project.
This year's summit has many innovations and programs that did not exist last year, including, for the first time in Armenia, the event in the format of "Camp Fire Pitch", during which startups will present their pitches to investors invited from Armenia and abroad. A day-long campathon has been specially developed for developers. During the week, the summit participants will also have access to many entertainment programs.
"We are happy that the leader of the banking system in Armenia has joined the summit as a main partner. The award that Ameriabank will provide can be fatal for a startup. The team will realize the seriousness of startup development and maybe in the future will become the development stimulus of the Armenian startup ecosystem," said Hakob Hakobyan, the founder of "Startup Armenia" Foundation.
Ameriabank Technology and Operations Director Burastan Movsisyan noted: "Ameriabank welcomes the organization of such an event in Armenia, which is an important stimulus for the development of innovative business in the country, formation of competitive advantages in the business environment and technological progress. The formation of startups aimed at meeting the needs of customers and based on technological innovations will in turn promote the technological development of the financial sector and the expansion of the market.

"Startup Armenia" foundation was founded in March 2016 by a group of enterprising young people who previously created and are still successful in a number of startups. The purpose of the fund is to support Armenian startups by organizing regular events. Pursuing this very goal, since the summer of 2016, the annual "Sevan Startup Summit" has been held with the efforts of the "Startup Armenia" foundation, which is the first tented startup conference in the world in its performance format. The composition of Summit participants and startup teams increases year by year, various nomination contests are held with large monetary prize funds.
