ArmInfo. The first artificial intelligence factory has just opened in the village of Gagarin, Armenia, as announced by Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan during his campaign event.
According to the Prime Minister, the total investment in the facility amounted to approximately $70 million. In June, a second factory will open on the premises of "Hrazdanmash," with an projected investment of $5 billion over the coming years. This, Pashinyan noted, signifies the transition of the country's economy to a qualitatively new level. The Prime Minister also mentioned the May 28 military parade, which showcased state-of-the-art military hardware—including Armenian-made equipment—calling it a source of pride and joy. This milestone was achieved through substantial investments in the military-industrial complex, which exceeded 170 billion drams.
Note, Armenia has become one of the first countries in the world to deploy the latest NVIDIA B300 Blackwell graphics accelerators. They were integrated by Eleveight AI at its AI-centric data center in the village of Gagarin, Gegharkunik Province. The project serves as a major indicator of Armenia's entry into the international AI infrastructure arena. The data center is expected to become fully operational in March 2026.
