Did you know that three of the embedded memory components in Apple’s first iPod were designed right here in Armenia? High-tech entrepreneur, executive, and investor Adam Kablanian does — it was his team of engineers behind that groundbreaking project.
Kablanian sits down with CivilNet’s Mark Dovich to talk about how Armenia’s tech scene has evolved over the past two decades — and why the country’s ambition of becoming a regional tech hub requires a revamped educational system. They also touch on the Armenian Society of Fellows, a new initiative connecting industry leaders in Armenia with their counterparts in the diaspora, as well as Armenia’s burgeoning wine industry.
