This mission recently took our Co-founder, Axel Yaghi, to WCIT 2024 / DigiTec in Yerevan, Armenia—a dynamic hub of technological advancement and cultural exchange. Axel’s experience at WCIT was truly eye-opening. He attended presentations from industry leaders like Rev Lebaredian , Vice President of Omniverse and Simulation Technology at NVIDIA, who elaborated on the next wave of AI, and Professor Benoit Macq , leading the research team at PiLab, who shared groundbreaking insights on the use of AI in predictive medical cancer treatment. A highlight of his trip was visiting Armenia’s 🦄 unicorn companies, Picsart and ServiceTitan, where he met professionals driving tech advancements from Yerevan. During his four-day trip, Axel also witnessed Armenia’s investment in tech talent through initiatives like the Tumo Center for Creative Technologies and Armath Engineering Makerspaces , which provide hands-on learning to foster creativity and technical skills among young innovators, underscoring Armenia’s long-term tech vision. This journey solidified our belief in the importance of international collaboration and the incredible potential global partnerships hold for the future of AI and technology worldwide.
