The Prime Minister mentioned this incredible tech deal: the United States proudly approved this wonderful technical agreement for NVIDIA. This means new markets and new jobs, both for the American workforce and companies, as well as for Armenia. These are chips that simply do not exist in most countries in the world, they are now going to be developed, and the data centers using those chips are going to be built in Armenia thanks to the Prime Minister’s leadership.”
The newly secured U.S. export license authorizes the sale and import of advanced NVIDIA hardware into Armenia, reinforcing the project’s full compliance with U.S. regulatory frameworks and underscoring the high level of institutional trust supporting the initiative.
Phase Two builds on Firebird’s previously announced Phase One, a $500 million investment that laid the foundation for Armenia’s first high-performance AI computing cluster. Together, the two phases represent a step-change in Armenia’s technological infrastructure, enabling research across life sciences, robotics, space, and next-generation AI applications.
Razmig Hovaghimian, co-founder and CEO of Firebird, added: “Firebird extends U.S. AI technology leadership globally, aligned with our vision of enabling AI for the benefit of all. This new cluster establishes Armenia as a global supercomputing hub, demonstrating how trusted U.S. infrastructure can power emerging economies. We’re grateful to the U.S. and Armenia governments for their partnership in enabling American technology to operate globally at scale.”
Firebird’s megaproject is designed to create a sustainable, globally competitive technology ecosystem in Armenia, anchored in secure infrastructure, international partnerships, and long-term economic value.
As Firebird enters Phase Two, the initiative stands as a tangible example of how cross-border cooperation, aligned regulatory frameworks, and a shared commitment to innovation can translate into transformative national impact.
