From Connectivity to Opportunity: Boosting EU–Armenia Trade and Investment (co-hosted by Enterprise Armenia and Delphi Economic Forum)
Armenia is positioning itself as a regional hub for connectivity, trade, and investment amid shifting geopolitical and economic dynamics. Through its “Crossroads of Peace” initiative, the country aims to move beyond transit and integrate into regional and global value chains linking Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.
At the same time, Armenia is advancing as a reform-driven, open economy, aligning its regulations with the European Union through CEPA and the Armenia–EU Strategic Agenda.
This convergence is improving governance, strengthening the business environment, and increasing the country’s appeal to European investors.
Enhanced connectivity and regulatory alignment can help expand trade with EU member states, diversify exports, and boost value-added growth.
Progress in visa liberalization can further support economic ties by facilitating the movement of businesses and talent.
The key challenge is translating these developments into concrete trade and investment outcomes. This panel will explore how connectivity, reforms, and trade facilitation can drive investment flows, expand EU–Armenia trade, and deepen integration into European value chains.
