The Sevan Startup Summit 2025 is back and this time, it's recharged with bold ambition, next-gen talent and game-changing ideas. From July 20 to 26, the shores of Lake Sevan will transform into a high-stakes arena where founders, coders, investors and visionaries gather to unlock the future of Armenia’s tech landscape.

Now in its 8th edition, this immersive, open-air summit has become proving ground for the region’s most ambitious startups. And this year, it's pushing the boundaries even further with two powerful new programs built to accelerate impact from the ground up.

Aligned with Armenia’s national focus on innovation and human capital, Sevan Startup Summit 2025 is introducing new formats that go beyond the pitch – programs designed to spark talent, fuel innovation and build the skills of tomorrow.

Talent Generation: a micro-incubation track crafted for students and aspiring entrepreneurs ready to take their first leap. No team? No problem. This hands-on program focuses on team formation, mentorship and real-world problem solving, activating the next wave of Armenian innovators at the ground level.

Firecode Marathon: this is not your average hackathon. It’s a high-intensity, time-bound challenge for developers, engineers and creators ready to build fast and solve real problems that matter. Firecode is all about speed, collaboration and engineering under pressure – with functioning prototypes that could scale far beyond the summit.

Armenia is doubling down on its innovation economy and SSS25 is a key driver of that momentum. With a $100,000 prize pool and $1 million investment fund on the line, this is where early-stage founders meet real backing and big ideas turn into scalable ventures.

Whether you're here to pitch, build, fund or learn – this is more than a summit. It’s a launchpad for bold ideas, born in the heart of a country where tech and talent are rewriting the rules.
