YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 19, ARMENPRESS: 68 companies partook in the DigiTec Expo 2010. As compared to the number of participants of the last year, this year it increased by 30%. Last year the number of visitors of the exposition was 12,000. Over 16,000 people visited the exposition this year.
Ruzan Apresyan, PR manager of the Union of Information Technology Enterprises (UITE), told Armenpress that next year they expect participation of 100 companies.
‘This year the DigiTec Expo registered a new record and became one of the greatest IT events not only in Armenia, but also in the region,’ Ruzan Apresyan stated.
She said the number of foreign participants and representations increased two times and made 10. The number of specialist-visitors and female visitors increased as well. ‘The participating companies were well-prepared and organized their own events in their pavilions, by this making their pavilions more interesting for visitors,’ she added.
According to the UITE PR manager, several international companies, among them the German ‘Krone’ and ‘Singapore Technologies’, entered into Armenia due to the Digitec. She says the most important technological innovation of the exposition was the Long-Term Evolution technology. The LTE will be operated by the VivaCell MTS in the near future and will grant Armenia the opportunity to be one of the few countries, which have 4G network.
‘The visit of the ‘D-Link’ company’s 40-member delegation, headed by D-Link’s CEO and President Tony Tsao, was interesting as well. Mr. Tsao visits only the significant events of the world,’ Ruzan Apresyan said. She added that the D-Link showed great interest in complex solutions of its product.
