THE ONLY SPACE ON EARTH WHERE THE SUN NEVER SETS
This invitation will immediately resonate with anyone who knows what the British Empire once was, and who has stood, even once, on the footbridge at the intersection of Chang’an and Taijichang in Beijing during Chinese New Year.
If not, you will. Keep reading.
Part 1: The Network
There are two forces on Earth where the sun never sets.
The first was the British Empire - once stretched across every time zone, sunlight always touching some corner of its rule.
The second? The global Armenian tech network. Just as global, just as continuous — but without conquest, borders, or flags. Instead of domination, it grows through talent and trust. Through code, capital, and collaboration.
A true network.
Twice as many Armenians live outside Armenia as within. For generations, they've excelled in science and business-disciplines now fused by the tech revolution into a single high-talent, high-trust network.
To work with one Armenian in tech is to tap into the entire network.
You enter a current that opens doors across Silicon Valley, Europe, and the Middle East.
You might start by Googling:
Raffi Krikorian, Nina Achadjian , Alexis Ohanian, Hovhannes Avoyan, Vahé Torossian, Naira Hovakimyan, Daron Acemoglu, Annita Nerses, Razmig Hovaghimian, Noubar Afeyan, Rev Lebaredian, Raymond Damadian, Suren Markosian, Levon Khachigian, Avie Tevanian, Ardem Patapoutian, Vahe Kuzoyan, Ara Mahdessian...
But these are only the visible nodes. The real magic is THE NETWORK.
Part 2: The New Year
Have you ever seen a million people move as one?
In Beijing, during Chinese New Year, the entire city is empty. Streets close. Crowds walk shoulder-to-shoulder along avenues 60 meters wide, heading to the train stations. Homeward.
The populations of China’s great megacities are built on migration — millions who left small towns and villages in search of opportunity. But no matter who you are — student, factory worker, executive, or minister — everyone returns home for 春节 (Chūn Jié). With car traffic suspended, human rivers stream toward the trains, stretching to the horizon.
From the footbridge at Chang’an and Taijichang intersection, it is a living tide — one million people, literally.
Armenia has its own version of that. A return. A ritual.
If January marks the fiscal year, and September the academic, then October is the New Year of Armenian tech.
It’s called Digitec, and once a year, it brings Techarmenians home
To be there isn't optional. It’s a homecoming. A reassembly of the network. A single pulse in Yerevan that syncs the farthest corners of the world.
No matter what you seek — investors, engineers, founders, dreamers — Digitec is where you’ll find them.
Because once a year, without fail, the global network of Techarmenians returns home.
INSTEAD OF A P.S. (BEFORE WE END, A BEGINNING.)
Armenians have long seen themselves as the heirs of a mythical lineage: the builders who, legend says, rebelled against Babylon and left the Tower long before the confusion of tongues.
Whether taken as history or allegory, that origin story reveals how Armenians understand their place in the world — as hereditary creators and technological rebels who ignore vertical hierarchies and instead create horizontal, collaborative, relationship-driven structures.
Scattered across the globe yet connected like constellations, the Armenian network forms a decentralized, radiant architecture — where the sun, quite literally, never sets on its builders.
