ArmInfo.The key to society's progress in the digital age is the digital environment of trust, ideas and innovations, for which Armenia has the potential. This was stated during the opening ceremony of the Doing Digital  forum by Deputy Prime Minister of Armenia Mher Grigoryan.

"I hope that the reasonable contribution of the state to the  development of the digital economy and society will maximize this  potential," he said.  The Deputy Prime Minister stressed that the  digital future in Armenia should become a reality thanks to the  private sector and citizens, and the state in in turn, he said, will  make every possible effort to implement an open and accessible data  policy, the formation of critical infrastructure, the rules of the  game and a safe and facilitating environment. "This is the main  approach of the government in the policy of digital transformation,"  said Mher Grigoryan.  Recalling that he is the chairman of the  Information Systems Management Board, the Deputy Prime Minister  presented the main goals for the digitalization of society and the  economy. In particular, the Board's vision on this issue provides  for free access of citizens to digital identification solutions, for  which the latter will not pay, citizens and business entities will  provide their data to the state system one-time,  public services  will be developed based on life circumstances, etc.

"In our opinion, investments in the field of digitalization will lead  to the transformation of society, the state, the economy, including  the transformation, and, if necessary, the elimination of certain  processes carried out by institutions that impede convenience and  increase productivity," he concluded.
