The first international NVB Frontier Forum took place on October 1 in Yerevan, initiated by New Venture Brokerage. The closed event was attended by investors, technology company executives, business founders, and industry experts. The main topics were space technologies, artificial intelligence, the development of necessary infrastructure, and opportunities for attracting private capital into promising industries.
During the discussion on the space economy, Manifest Space CEO Nick Orenstein noted that the industry is gradually shifting from predominantly government programs to commercial projects. This opens up access for investors to companies operating in international markets. Executives from EOS Space Technology and GEN Space also shared their experience in space technologies. A separate discussion was dedicated to AI infrastructure, including GPU-based computing power and investments in the development of relevant solutions. Participants included representatives from NVIDIA, Firebird, and Eleveight AI.
Another topic was the development of Armenia as an international technology and investment hub. Marianna Movsesyan, Director of New Venture Brokerage, emphasized the importance of direct contacts with company founders, investment funds, and infrastructure project specialists. According to her, such connections allow obtaining information directly from market participants and better assessing industry prospects. The organizers positioned the forum as a platform for exchanging practical experience and discussing new investment opportunities.
