Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan participated in the plenary session on the theme "Industry 360. Production Without Borders" held within the framework of the "Innoprom-2026" international industrial exhibition in Yekaterinburg.
The event was also attended by the Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation Mikhail Mishustin, Prime Minister of Belarus Alexander Turchin, Prime Minister of Kazakhstan Olzhas Bektanov, and Prime Minister of Kyrgyzstan Adilbek Kasimaliyev.
The prime ministers of the countries first toured the exhibition booths to familiarize themselves with the presented products. Subsequently, the plenary session on "Industry 360. Production Without Borders" took place.
In his speech, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan particularly noted:
"Dear Mikhail Vladimirovich,
Dear heads of delegations,
Ladies and gentlemen,
First of all, I would like to express my gratitude to the head of the Government of the Russian Federation for the invitation to participate in the "INNOPROM" international industrial exhibition, as well as to note the high level of organization of the event.
The "INNOPROM" exhibition has traditionally been a suitable platform for showcasing leading industrial solutions and business opportunities. Structural changes are taking place in the global architecture of industrial development, with an increasing role of science, technology, digitalization, artificial intelligence, and data analytics.
I must note with satisfaction that Armenia's industry has recorded stable growth in recent years. In 2025, the growth in the volume of industrial production compared to 2024 was 4.7%, while in the first four months of the current year, it was 13% compared to the same period last year. The manufacturing industry has doubled in the last nine years.
The development of microelectronics, biopharmaceuticals, and robotics is driving demand for fundamental and scientific research, modernizing the vocational education system, and shaping a qualitatively new labor market.
One of the key directions of the industrial policy of the Republic of Armenia is the formation of knowledge-intensive industries that ensure technological development through the optimization of processes, digitalization, the implementation of artificial intelligence technologies, and data analytics.
This approach, by increasing the investment attractiveness of the sector, will accelerate technology transfer and create conditions for the production of high value-added products. Our strategy for innovative development is to ensure sustainable growth while integrating into global technological trends and taking a worthy place on the global map of information technologies and high-tech industries.
Recent large-scale investments indicate that the perception of our country as a reliable partner with a long-term strategic vision in the field of high technologies is increasingly growing.
Industry is one of the driving forces, including within the Eurasian Economic Union. The launch of the financial support mechanism for cooperative projects has become an important practical tool for achieving integration goals. This mechanism contributes to increasing the competitiveness of the industry of member states by creating favorable conditions for mutually beneficial cooperation.
Armenian industrial enterprises are already participating in several joint projects with our partners in the Eurasian Economic Union. In conclusion, I would like to emphasize that in the era of rapid development of high technologies and artificial intelligence, the humanitarian aspect should remain our main guideline.
Technologies are meant not to replace humans but to free them from monotonous daily tasks, thereby opening new horizons for intellectual and creative activities. Thank you for your attention."
