Austrian companies shared their experience of operating in Armenia, while Armenian participants outlined opportunities for cooperation with Austrian partners across various sectors.
Ambassador of Armenia to Austria, Andranik Hovhannisyan, delivered remarks emphasizing the strong bilateral political ties between Armenia and Austria, shared historical and cultural connections and the growing partnership with the European Union.
