YEREVAN, ARMENIA, April 2, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- On April 8, Yerevan will once again host the Doing Digital Forum (DDF) for the fourth consecutive year—a flagship event dedicated to digital transformation and financial technologies. Held under the theme “Bridging Platforms and Economies,” the forum will convene leading local and international experts, business executives, and public sector decision-makers.

This year’s special guest is Leiming Chen, Senior Vice President and Chief Sustainability Officer at Ant International, who will share his vision for the future of the digital economy and global financial inclusion. The forum will also feature keynote insights from Matias Undurraga, Enterprise Technologist at Amazon Web Services (AWS); Dirk Ohlmeier, CEO Just Better; Oleksandr Yablunivskyy, VP and Head of Products and Solutions at Visa CISSEE.

“Modern digital economies are no longer shaped by isolated technological solutions, but through interconnected ecosystems and platforms. In a rapidly shifting geopolitical landscape, new economic ties and pathways for cooperation are emerging. This year’s agenda highlights the opportunities created by linking diverse economic platforms. The Doing Digital Forum connects Armenia to the global technological agenda, positioning it as a bridge for regional and international collaboration,” said Tatevik Simonyan, Founder of DDF.

DDF26 will explore how digital transformation is reshaping financial systems, public infrastructure, and the real economy, with a focus on Open Finance, AI-native enterprises, digital identity, and global platform strategies. The agenda will also address regional financial infrastructure and the intersection of regulation and innovation, highlighting how collaboration between public and private sectors can unlock sustainable economic growth.

“Digital identity is the bridge connecting platforms, economies, and people—enabling trust to flow seamlessly across systems and borders,” said Karen Mkoyan, CEO of imID, the forum’s Digital Identity Partner. “At imID, we are proud to support DDF26, where leaders explore how these connections can unlock new growth and opportunity. By building a trusted digital identity layer, we are helping bridge Armenia’s digital future with the global economy.”

The Forum features a powerful lineup of policymakers driving economic and digital transformation. Key contributors include Martin Galstyan, Governor of the Central Bank of Armenia, Mkhitar Hayrapetyan, Minister of High-Tech Industry of the RA, and Eduard Hakobyan, Chairman of the State Revenue Committee. Further regulatory expertise will be provided by Armen Nurbekyan and Hovhannes Khachatryan, Deputy Governors of the Central Bank of Armenia, and Ruben Simonyan, Deputy Minister of High-Tech Industry.

The practical application of digital tools will be explored by industry leaders including Artur Kartshikyan (aeda Wallet), Karen Mkoyan and Armen Avak Avakian of imID, Rafael Mkrtchyan (Freedom Broker Armenia), Aram Azatyan (Finbox) and Vakhtang Abrahamyan (Unibank). The forum will offer insights into digital interoperability, alongside Sergio Mello of Anchorage Digital and David Pollack of Unchain.

Regional expertise from Georgia will be represented by Varlam Ebanoidze and Vasil Shengelia of the National Bank of Georgia, as well as Lado Kandelaki (E-commerce Association) and Mikheil Didebulidze (VS1 Finance).

Additional perspectives on industrial digitalization, data governance and digital transformation in education will be provided by Sadyk Azimov (ZCMC), Laura Aydinyan (Information Systems Agency of Armenia), Arusyak Mirzakhanyan (SRC), and Fintech expert Jan Ziomek.

“The digital economy is often seen through the lens of platforms and algorithms, yet its true foundation lies in the industries that supply the materials powering modern technologies. Mining is part of that foundation. At Zangezur Copper Molybdenum Combine, we see digitalization not simply as a tool, but as a catalyst transforming how industry operates—making it smarter, safer, and more sustainable while supporting innovations that shape tomorrow’s world,” noted Vardan Jhanyan, First Deputy Director General of ZCMC, the Forum’s Industrial Transformation Partner.

Since its launch in 2023, DDF has featured the latest technological developments and economic trends, bringing together over 60 prominent speakers and more than 3,000 participants from Armenia, the United Kingdom, the United States, the UAE, Germany, Australia, and CIS countries.
The forum is organized by SPRING PR, with Visa serving as the Innovation Partner, Freedom Broker Armenia as the Investment partner, imID as the Digital Identity Partner, aeda as the Blockchain Partner and Zangezur Copper Molybdenum Combine as the Industrial Transformation Partner.
