Armenian Minister of High-Tech Industry Mkhitar Hayrapetyan’s article How To Enter Emerging Semiconductor Hubs Strategically has been published by Forbes.
The minister presents a strategic framework he developed while advising companies on global expansion, including recent work in Armenia, where NVIDIA and Firebird recently announced a $500 million AI supercomputing infrastructure.
“The semiconductor industry has become a paradox of innovation and vulnerability,” Hayrapetyan says. “Ninety percent of the world's most advanced chips are fabricated in a single East Asian corridor.

From Vietnam to Greece, a new generation of “emerging hubs” is attracting interest. But while press releases come fast, progress often doesn’t. Many initiatives stall once the reality behind headline numbers comes into focus. To move beyond announcements and toward successful execution, tech leaders need a new framework, one that accounts not just for costs and incentives but for the structural, human and geopolitical dynamics that shape long-term viability.”
