I am engaged in many educational initiatives because this is my priority, - Armenian businessman and billionaire Ruben Vardanyan told Forbes Talks.
As he noted, he is the author of numerous educational projects.
"I am quite actively engaged in Skolkovo Business School and School of Management, of which I am very proud, as one of the founders. We celebrated our 15th anniversary a few months ago. I am very proud to be a part of this. Skolkovo is a partner of the Project Matena. I see significant synergy between our various projects - both in Russia and abroad. It is also one of the ongoing projects in Belgium, which will be related to the Project Matena. We are trying to unite all our resources to help Armenians become leaders, strong, successful professionals, which I think is very important," Vardanyan said.
According to the billionaire, his second project is to return 50,000 families to Armenia, who are scattered around the world.
"These are the people who believe in the future of Armenia, who want to be part of Armenia, who want to invest and spend their time, which is the most valuable asset for all of us. This is a big project, with big ambitions, that we just announced. We hold huge campaign to return Armenians to their homes.
The third project will be the construction of a large strategic center, which will include the region, neighboring countries, including Georgia. We want to know better what is happening in our neighboring countries in order to achieve more success," he added.
As of Armenian businessman Ruben Vardanyan, he will engage in Armenian politics in addition to the business this year. According to Forbes, his fortune is about USD 1 billion.
