IT-comapnies in 2017
Armenia is a highly cultural and rooted country in the region with its own quirks and distinctive traits. For example, by percentage, RA has one of the highest diasporas of any country on the planet. However, in the recent years, especially since the Velvet Revolution of 2018, many ex-pats are deciding to relocate back to Armenia to start businesses, get involved import/export, distribution and even politics.

SKilled IT staff
The Velvet Revolution of 2018 sparked the beginning of real change in Armenia, and was a gigantic step forward in progressive thinking, both politically and economically. RA has one of the highest developer-per-person percentages of any country, and resembles are early Ireland and recent Bulgaria, with developer and IT-driven growth from within. In a few year’s time, RA will undoubtedly be the Silicon Valley of the Caucus region and is the most rapidly and sustainably growing of the ex-Soviet bloc countries.

Yearly Growth in the IT Sector
This revolution, peaceful in nature, reflected the dire need for change within the country. With the development of IT, manufacturing and financial and banking developments, the system was hindered by the apparent corruption and antiquity that all post-soviet countries face and are still facing. After said revolution, street level corruption was immediately eliminated for every-day living. Mid and high-level corruption was tackled in the courts with revolutionary political and constitutional changes to ensure that the previous government and economic leaders were held accountable in this new environment.

The future is incredibly bright for RA. Many startups are popping up daily, in every facet and sector. The growth is natural and self-sustained for the most part, with little foreign investment over the past few years. This is rapidly changing, and the balance of the country is flipping, being heavily export-based, both with goods and services.
