I am Elen Mnoyan, an economist and business management specialist deeply committed to leveraging technology as a catalyst for global peace. My journey in shaping Armenia’s high-tech landscape began over a decade ago and continues to drive my passion for fostering innovation and international cooperation.

Currently, my role at the Ministry of High-Tech Industry of the Republic of Armenia since 2021 has been pivotal in steering our nation towards a technologically empowered future. My focus on nurturing startups and nurturing growth within high-tech companies aims to position Armenia as a thriving hub for innovation.

One of the most defining moments of my career occurred during my course in Japan. As the sole ambassador representing Armenia, I took the opportunity to showcase our nation’s potential and shed light on crucial issues within the ICT sector. Conducting a productive workshop opened doors for collaboration and strengthened bonds between nations, fostering a sense of shared progress in the tech sphere.

Beyond governmental responsibilities, I’ve actively contributed as a jury member in various startup events, using my expertise to identify and support promising ventures. My passion for education led me to share insights as a lecturer, guiding future entrepreneurs in startup and business engineering, instilling in them the values of innovation and resilience.

My commitment to fostering international dialogue is evident in my organization of influential events such as Digitech, Armhightech, and Neruzh. These platforms have showcased Armenia’s advancements in the high-tech realm, fostering global interaction and highlighting our nation’s contributions to the technological landscape.

My firm belief in the unifying power of technology fuels my determination to serve as an ambassador for the Global Peace Chain. By promoting Armenia’s technological prowess on the global stage, I aspire to inspire and collaborate with like-minded individuals, leveraging innovation for the greater good.
