Experts explored the policy, education, and investment steps needed to bring Armenia’s AI ecosystem onto the global stage.

The closing session was dedicated to the Middle Corridor concept, focusing on the development of shared digital and financial infrastructures through regional cooperation creating fast, affordable, and secure exchange systems between Asia and Europe.
