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 - 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, systems thinking, and guided by the values of integrity, collaboration, and long-term impact.

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.
