Dear Participant:
On behalf of the “Armenia 2020 Project” and the German-Armenian Studentclub “Haik”, we would like to invite you to a Town Hall Meeting in Munich on October 21, 2006.
We would like to introduce to you the Armenia 2020 Project, a scenario-building initiative that focuses on the identification of alternative development models for the Republic of Armenia until the year 2020 and the elaboration of development scenarios for the country. The strength of the project is the mix of participants with diverse viewpoints; it aims to bring together committed and accomplished Armenians from Armenia and all over the world.
Armenia 2020 leaders will discuss opportunities for exponential growth in Armenia based on the results of an economic assessment conducted for Armenia 2020 by the consulting firm McKinsey & Company, and share highlights from the most extensive global survey to-date of Armenians around the world on Armenia’s future and economic development, commissioned by Armenia 2020.
The German-Armenian Studentclub "Haik" was founded in 2003, in Mannheim, Germany. Members of "Haik" are students, scholars and academics (mainly Armenian), who study and work in Germany. Within a short time, “Haik” has accomplished a network of Chapters in 16 German Universities. The main objective of “Haik” is to establish a network between Armenian and German students, young academicians and young professionals to forge educational, professional and cultural relationships between two nations. Furthermore the Club serves to strengthen the current and future potential of Armenia as well as Armenian Diaspora in Germany through different projects to support Armenians.
As a leader in your field and, most importantly, as an individual committed to building a prosperous Armenia, your participation in this Town Hall Meeting is critical. Please RSVP by filling in the attached registration form and return it to
[email protected] no later than Friday, September 29, 2006. Please direct any questions or comments you may have to Karen Navoyan (
