The Olympiad plays an important role in microelectronics education and stimulates further development of this sphere in Armenia and in the participating countries. It also helps to demonstrate recognition, appreciation and inspire many talented engineers under the age of 30 to increase their interest in microelectronics. The annual event aims to enlarge the international community of young specialists of microelectronics, as well as to evaluate the level of knowledge of participants in order to make necessary adjustments in the regional educational programs.
 
“VivaCell-MTS has been always extending full support to initiatives helping to reveal young Armenian talents in the ICT sphere. Our long-term strategy to support the Armenian youth with self-realization is based on our fundamental and untouchable believe – Armenia has a bright future, and the future is in the hands of our youth. And the more we support the youth, the more Armenia will become competitive in the world, against existing international and regional challenges. Technologically advanced and skillful youth believing in the future of the country are a value similar to National Army and other important elements of our national identity and security. Technology and knowledge sustain the future of the country by protecting it and making it stronger. Talented youth contribute to the immunity of Armenia in the long run, as a motherland and as a secure place to live and raise own children,” commented VivaCell-MTS General Manager Ralph Yirikian.
