Welcome to the annual Advance Armenia Gala, where we get together to support FAST’s flagship programs.

In September of 2023, FAST launched Generation AI - an innovative educational project, running in 15 high schools across 7 regions of Armenia. This program is dedicated to creating an educational and career pipeline for future AI researchers and innovators in Armenia.

This year, Advance Armenia Gala aims to support the scaling of the Generation AI for the new 2024 cohort of students, while also supporting the journey of the 2023 cohort.

Your presence at this Gala is more than attendance - it's a vote for a future where Armenia leads in global innovation. Every conversation, every connection, and every contribution at this event has the power to launch careers, spark breakthroughs, and change lives.
