Alternative Investments in Armenia Program

Orion Role: Initiator and Organizer

BDO in Armenia and Orion Worldwide Innovations partnered to hold a two-day international conference in Yerevan, Armenia from November 8^th-9^th, 2022 titled "Alternative Investments in Armenia".

The conference is dedicated to one of the most important areas of the financial and overall economic growth of Armenia: building international business partnerships and initiate collaboration with international bankers, investors and businesses. The Alternative Investments area has the power of enabling and recharging the economic growth of countries by fostering the flow of money into the economy to support innovation, increase productivity, and enable multi-generational and institutional capital management.

With the current state of the financial system’s development in Armenia and in the region, where the capital market is predominantly saturated with private debt (bank loans), and while the public markets are still evolving, the other sources of alternative investments, such as Private Equity, Venture Capital, Corporate Venture Capital (CVC), with institutional multi-generational Asset Management vehicles such as Family Offices, can play a vital role in the diversification and further development of the financial ecosystem, as well as for preserving, accumulating and transforming the wealth of our nation.
