Armenia: Festival of Ideas to promote entrepreneurship among displaced persons and their host communities

The Three4ResilientArmenia programme, funded by the European Union and implemented by the Armenian NGO Caritas, the IRIS Business Incubator Fund and the Impact Hub Armenia Social Innovation Development Fund, is organising a two-day interactive Festival of Ideas aimed at promoting entrepreneurship among internally displaced persons (IDPs) from Nagorno-Karabakh and their host communities.

The event will take place on 16-17 May in Goris, at the Impact Hub Syunik.

The programme aims to facilitate the social and economic integration of these target groups. The festival combines educational, teamwork and gaming elements. The main goal of the Festival of Ideas is to stimulate entrepreneurial thinking, help participants unlock their business potential and provide tools to help turn ideas into real businesses.

The competition is open to anyone over the age of 18, including IDPs from Nagorno-Karabakh in 2020 and 2023,  participants in the 2020 war, local residents living in host communities, students and young people, and other people interested in entrepreneurship.

The deadline for applications is 10 May.
