ArmInfo. From July 4 to 6 of this year, “Tech Week Vanadzor 2025” was held in Vanadzor. Staying true to its strategy of embracing innovation, Ardshinbank actively participated in the event.
The Tech Week series annually brings together leading Armenian IT organizations in a city outside Yerevan, providing local youth with an opportunity to explore their digital potential. This year, the event took place at the Charles Aznavour Cultural Center in Vanadzor. Tech Week’s mission is to promote technological education in the regions, showcase the latest advancements in the field, and foster new opportunities for collaboration.
The event featured a dynamic program of keynote speeches and panel discussions led by experts across the tech industry. Its central message was clear: Armenia’s technological future isn’t limited to Yerevan, it belongs to the entire country.
Ardshinbank’s presence in Vanadzor was highlighted by Narek Grigoryan, Head of the Bank’s Digital Banking Development Department, who participated in the panel discussion titled “Where Are We Going? Technologies, People, and the Future We Build Together.” The session addressed key topics such as technological progress, human potential, and the evolving future of the financial sector.
“The future is digital, but it cannot be built without people. Technologies have value only when they serve human needs and transform experiences. At Ardshinbank, we strive to balance innovation with humanism, implementing effective IT solutions that enhance our customers’ quality of life,” said Narek Grigoryan.
Tech Week provides a vital platform where businesses, educational institutions, and IT professionals can come together to drive progress through joint initiatives. Ardshinbank’s involvement underscores the importance of this synergy, in line with the principle of “Building Together.” Digitalization in banking is no longer optional, it is a necessary and systematic approach to shaping the future.
