ArmInfo. Armenian Minister of High-Tech Industry Mkhitar Hayrapetyan announced that he met with the Charge d'Affaires a.i. David Allen. "In my speech, I commended the effective partnership established between the Republic of Armenia and the United States, emphasizing the strategic importance of the Memorandum of Understanding on Cooperation in Artificial Intelligence and Semiconductors, signed in Washington on August 8, 2025.
I noted that the signing of the memorandum is of unprecedented significance for the development of bilateral cooperation, and maximum efforts must be made to effectively utilize this document and achieve tangible results," Hayrapetyan wrote on his Facebook page. He added that the provision of high- performance computing resources (FirebirdAI, EleveightAI), as well as expanded collaboration with major American technology companies, were identified as priority areas of cooperation.
David Allen, in turn, confirmed the US's readiness to support the development of the Armenian tech ecosystem.
Hayrapetyan said that one of the key achievements of Armenia-US cooperation in microchips—the granting of an export license for advanced technologies to Microchip Technology—was also noted at the meeting.
"I emphasized that this is the result of consistent bilateral work, and this cooperation confirms the high level of mutual trust that has developed between the two countries and adding that the transition to a more favorable status for Armenia under the US export control regime will be a logical and natural continuation of the strategic partnership," the Armenian official said.
