ArmInfo.On October 3, the opening ceremony of "Armenia Engineering Week 2025" was held in Engineering City with the participation of RA Minister of High-Tech Industry Mkhitar Hayrapetyan.

According to the ministry's press service, welcoming and  congratulating those present on the first major official event held  in the new building of the High-Tech Accelerator in Engineering City,  the minister noted that Armenia must produce its own engineering  products for both the Armenian and global economies.

"It's time for us to think about having our own Samsung and selling  it to the world, and it is here, in Engineering City, that science  and innovation will form the basis for the creation of new Armenian  products," the minister noted.

"Armenia Engineering Week" is an annual engineering event in Armenia,  held for the ninth consecutive year. The forum serves as an important  platform for showcasing the country's engineering potential,  achievements, and vision for the future, as well as for positioning  Armenia as a hub for innovative thinking and advanced technological  solutions in the region. This year, a series of events brought  together representatives from government, scientific, educational,  corporate, and engineering circles from across the globe, fostering  cross-sector collaboration.

During the events, engineers will present their latest achievements  in various fields, including artificial intelligence, automotive,  space, semiconductors, cybersecurity, high-performance computing,  biomedical engineering, and smart manufacturing.

In parallel with the events of the first two days, technological  solutions and products created by Armenian companies will be  showcased in an exhibition format, demonstrating their vision for the  future of the engineering industry. The Engineering Week series of  events will conclude on October 5 at the Vanadzor 

Technology Center, where seminars, debates, and discussions will be  held on the role of youth in the development of engineering and  science. The event is organized by the Enterprise Incubator  Foundation and the Association of Engineers, together with the  Ministry of High-Tech Industry of the Republic of Armenia and a  number of public, private and international partner organizations and  programs.
