The BRIDGE TECH CONTEST II, one of the most prestigious platforms for technological innovation, concluded on November 14, 2024, bringing together the brightest minds from industries like IT, Blockchain, Artificial Intelligence, Finance, Education, Gaming, and Creative sectors. Among the winners was the E-Commerce and Digital Marketing Association (ECDMA), proudly crowned “Tech Association of the Year.”
Now, we’ll admit—being called a “Tech Association” might feel like being awarded “Best Chef” for boiling water, but we’re absolutely thrilled! While we’re not exactly writing code or inventing AI algorithms, our mission to foster collaboration and innovation across digital marketing and e-commerce aligns with the heart of technological progress.

This year’s contest received 200 applications across 14 categories, underscoring its importance as a global platform for innovation.

We’ll continue connecting innovators, marketers, and digital professionals to drive Armenia’s place on the global tech map.
