What is GTC ?

At Gyumri Technology Center (GTC) by EIF, we educate, incubate, and empower future leaders, creators, and innovators with a focus on convergence of art, science, and technology. Through regional development initiatives, industry partnerships, and workforce training, GTC serves as a platform for business growth, skill development, and technological advancement in Armenia’s regions.

Constructed in the early 20th century, between 1900 and 1920, the building stands as a distinctive architectural gem crafted from black tuff. Originally the building served as the first campus of Yerevan State University, which commenced its operations in Gyumri before relocating to Yerevan, the building later housed the Gyumri M. Nalbandyan Pedagogical Institute for a period. Since 2014, it has found a new purpose as the Gyumri Technology Center or as the locals call it Gyumri Technopark.

GTC was established in 2014 by the Enterprise Incubator Foundation (EIF), in partnership with the Government of Armenia and the World Bank. The goal was clear—to position Gyumri as a thriving technological hub, fostering:

Advanced technical and business skills
Technology-driven entrepreneurship
Commercialization of innovative research
Foreign investment and startup acceleration

GTC was built on the vision of regional economic transformation, creating an ecosystem where technology companies, startups, and talent can grow and innovate.

Today, GTC is more than a technology hub—it is a multidisciplinary innovation space, bridging the gap between technology, arts, and science to inspire groundbreaking solutions.

We offer an all-in-one, inclusive environment where individuals and businesses can access:

Education & Training
Funding & Investment
Business Development Support
Entertainment & Community Engagement
Talent Recruitment & Professional Growth
Inspiration & Creative Collaboration

GTC provides a comprehensive ecosystem where individuals can learn, create, and build businesses, supporting the full journey from education to entrepreneurship.
