Welcome to the community, Cyril 🚀 Happy to have you with us at AICA!

During , a dedicated panel on healthcare investment brought together key voices to discuss how to attract capital, build the right frameworks, and strengthen investor confidence in HealthTech.

Clear takeaway:
We don’t lack innovation. We lack pathways to scale it.
Too many strong solutions remain at the pilot stage.
HealthTech in Armenia is still early, which makes the opportunity even bigger.
Now it’s time to build the system around the startups.

Panelists:
Ashot Arzumanyan | SmartGateVC
Sona Grigoryan | Plug and Play Tech Center
Manuk Hergnyan | Granatus Ventures, also an Angel Investor Club of Armenia (AICA) angel,
Naré Gevorgyan | Angel Investor Club of Armenia (AICA)

Special thanks to Dr Robin Vicken Ohannessian MD MPH PhD. for organizing the event and hosting the panel.
