Yerevan, July 28 – The inaugural ‘Armenia-United Kingdom Business Forum 2026’ (Armenia-UK Business Forum 2026) is set to be held in Yerevan on October 5-6. The forum aims to reinforce and expand business, investment, and institutional connections between Armenia and the United Kingdom.
Forum to Kick Off with Gala Concert, Main Program on October 6
The forum will commence with a Gala Concert on October 5, with the main business program scheduled for October 6.
The event is organized by the Oxford Alumni Business Club of Armenia (OABCA) in partnership with the Government of the Republic of Armenia, specifically the Ministry of Economy, the Ministry of Education, Science, Culture and Sport, Enterprise Armenia, and the British-Armenian Chamber of Commerce (BACC).
Armenia’s Growing Role in Regional Economy
This forum comes at a time when Armenia is solidifying its position as a strategic destination for investment, trade, and innovative initiatives. In the context of deepening cooperation with the European Union and the TRIPP initiative (‘Trump’s Path for International Peace and Prosperity’), Armenia is taking another step to establish itself as an emerging hub connecting Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. This creates new investment opportunities for markets demanding stable and long-term growth.
Over 800 Participants Expected, Including 100+ UK Delegates
The ‘Armenia-United Kingdom Business Forum 2026’ is expected to bring together more than 800 participants, including over 100 delegates from the United Kingdom, more than 25 speakers, and over 10 institutional partners. Participants will represent various sectors, including public administration, finance, infrastructure, natural resources and energy, artificial intelligence, education, and culture.
“Strong economic partnerships are built on trust, continuous cooperation, and meaningful dialogue. Our goal is to create a platform that brings together the right people not only to discuss opportunities but also to implement them. We believe that the Armenia-UK Business Forum can become a long-term catalyst for new investments, stronger institutional relationships, and deeper business cooperation between our two countries,” said Alexander Shaghikyan, Chairman of the Board of the Oxford Alumni Business Club of Armenia (OABCA).
