ICT Master Strategy for Republic of Armenia Executive Summary OVERVIEWThe transition from manufacturing economies to knowledge economies offers new opportunities for Armenia. Wealth in the 21st century will accrue to those who implement “knowledge based infrastructures.” This revolution favors Armenia—with its strong depth of intellectual resources—to be viable in the global marketplace. Armenia’s potential to succeed is great, but it relies on the country’s ability to leverage human capital and to retain its knowledge assets, not export them. To do so, the Armenian information and communication technology (ICT) industry must:
A Master Strategy for Armenia’s ICT IndustryThe vision of this Master Strategy is the creation of an industry that promotes the wide use and application of information technology by Armenian citizens, businesses, and government to improve the quality of life and advance every facet of the Armenian society including homes, businesses, schools, and the community. In developing this strategy, recommendations are based on five underlying necessities: 1) the core capabilities derived from this strategy will reside in Armenia; 2) the primary outcome will be growth and wealth creation; 3) quality of life and social factors will be a national priority; 4) the goals and objectives of this plan must be challenging but attainable, consistent with the environment in Armenia; and 5) the strategy must achieve cross-sector collaboration. Specifically, how effectively Armenian businesses, academic, and government sectors collaborate and cooperate will, in large part, determine Armenia’s ability to create high value jobs and to accelerate economic growth while improving the quality of life. GOALSThe most rapid path to global competitiveness for Armenia as an ICT producer is to: 1) leverage the strong mathematical structure, numerical algorithmic, and logic capacities of its existing professionals; 2) leverage the ICT resources of the U.S. Diaspora companies that have already come to Armenia, as well as attracting new companies from North America and Europe; 3) create conditions that attract new talent; and 4) leverage the relatively small ICT resources of Armenia by creating a collaborative “team culture of enterprises” in Armenia where an environment for both cooperation and competition (or “coopetition”) is the norm. Based on the premise that a niche must be enhanced and sustained, the Master Strategy identifies key goals and proposes a course of action that creates the proper conditions for positioning the Armenian ICT industry at global levels. The goals of this Master Strategy are to accelerate the momentum and growth of the ICT industry already underway, create a vibrant and sustainable ICT industry, and provide a long-term methodology and successful model to develop other industries in Armenia. The Master Strategy seeks to strengthen Armenia’s existing business base while transitioning to more sophisticated, higher value business opportunities that promote innovation and entrepreneurship, create more wealth in Armenia, and improve the country’s quality of life to ensure long-term business success. The Master Strategy strives to foster entrepreneurship to develop and sustain ICT business clusters utilizing skilled people, knowledge institutions, knowledge networks, and information and communication infrastructure. Its aim will be to create the infrastructure and environment that nurtures entrepreneurs and creates the networks of support, both domestically and internationally, that attract capital and expertise needed to sustain an entrepreneurial environment that promotes growth throughout the country.
