Shape Armenia’s Future, One Smart Step at a Time

You’ve built your career solving complex problems. Now, join a global community of visionary Armenians tackling one of the most meaningful challenges of our time:
making Armenia resilient, competitive, and future-ready.

Why Armenia Needs SASTIC?

Armenia stands at a strategic crossroads.
As external threats grow, our economy remains overly reliant on trade and services, with over 60% of GDP tied to non-strategic sectors. For decades, we've lacked the deep, coordinated investment needed to build resilient, future-oriented industries.

SASTIC is building a new engine for national prosperity - rooted in science, technology, and systems thinking.
 Not with slogans. Not with charity.
But with honest, expert-led work focused on real problems—building the infrastructure, companies, and talent Armenia needs to survive and thrive.

We believe security and sovereignty begin with innovation, driven by long-term commitment, professional collaboration, and courageous investment in what truly matters.

“We started SASTIC because Armenia doesn’t have a talent problem—it has a coordination, continuity, and commitment problem. When visionary professionals systematically engage, plan long-term, and execute together, we can tackle the most strategic challenges our nation faces. That’s what SASTIC is here to do.”

— Armen Khachatryan

Not a Charity. A Strategy.

SASTIC is a global movement of Armenians solving real problems—together.

Too many projects in Armenia start with big ideas and end with little impact. At SASTIC, we do the opposite.

We foster problem-driven innovation, where solutions are born from real needs—validated, measurable, and strategically vital. Our members don’t just give; they shape the roadmap for Armenia’s next chapter in defense tech, education, AI, and biotech.

It’s time for a new mindset in Armenian nation-building: one built on clarity, expertise, and long-term thinking.
