YEREVAN — The first batch of high-performance artificial intelligence (AI) equipment, including GPUs, has arrived in Armenia. The announcement was made via Facebook by Minister of High-Tech Industry Mkrtich Hayrapetyan.
“This is an important step toward implementing the Government of Armenia’s ‘AI Factory Park’ concept and building next-generation AI data infrastructure in our country,” the minister wrote. “The import of this equipment represents the realization of our vision and a decisive step toward defining Armenia’s place in shaping the technologies of the future.”
According to Hayrapetyan, this phase follows a strategic meeting held months ago with the leadership of Eleveight AI, which is constructing an AI data center in the village of Kakar. During that meeting, the expansion of high-performance AI infrastructure, as well as increasing accessibility and availability of advanced technologies, was identified as one of Armenia’s national priorities.
The new infrastructure is expected to engage local innovators, strengthen the country’s computing capabilities, and accelerate digital transformation in both the public and private sectors.
