The CEO also introduced the next phase of the initiative—a mentorship program that will begin in the autumn. 10 selected graduating companies will receive tailored mentoring and expert guidance to further strengthen their export strategies and support their market expansion efforts.

As part of the Export Acceleration Program 2026, Visionest Institute also organized the Go Global Armenia Bootcamp, an intensive two-day practical training designed for around 10 Armenian companies. The bootcamp provided participants with an opportunity to deepen their export knowledge, exchange experiences with experts, and address current challenges related to international trade, market entry, and logistics. Through interactive workshops and practical discussions, participating companies strengthened their capacity to navigate export processes more effectively and confidently.
