Activity: Yerevan businesses

You are cordially invited to attend a special daylong tour of business large and small in Armenia. This tour has been specially designed to familiarize interested attendees of the Armenia Diaspora conference with the actual flavor of doing business in Armenia. 
Some of the highlights of the day trip will include: 

• Ashtarak Dairy Production
• Tufenkian Carpet Factory
• Ashtaraki Dzor Restaurant (traditional Armenian lunch will be served)
• Vahakn Suburb 

The trip will start from Armenia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs at 10am and conclude at 5pm. Buses will take you to factories and businesses in Yerevan as well as the nearby town of Ashtarak. Businessman-Guides on the bus will be available to answer any questions about running an enterprise in Armenia, and the sites visited will have managers and proprietors available to ask questions to as well. The focus is an intensive, firsthand introduction to local, diasporan and joint venture businesses of various sizes to show a wide spectrum of potential investors the answers they need know. A fee of $5 will be collected in order to cover the lunch costs. 
We hope to see you on Friday, May 24 on our introductory tour to Armenia’s working businesses, and soon after we hope to see you doing business with the homeland! 
If you are interested, please sign up for yourself and any interested guests here by May 15 at the latest.
