Last month Business Armenia supported FMD K&L Europe in openening of the largest biotechnology center in the region which will double the number of employees.

Business Armenia noted that the organization plans on employing another 250 specialists this year.

FMD K&L Europe has organized good clinical practice (GCP) course at M. Heratsi Medical University. At the same time, the company receives applications from specialists of pharmacology, chemistry, biology and medicine.


The Managers of FMD K&L Europe have presented the advantages of investment in Armenia and the new projects:

“We have begun working directly with medical universities to train more qualified specilaists so that they, in their turn, may participate in our research from Armenia. We also have many global customers. We will persuade them to establish offices in this park and cooperate with us,” noted Dan Zhang, the Executive Chairman of the Board of FMD K&L.


“Each time we open a new center in here I try to size up to the next year. Every time I walk into a location I realize that I bought it too small. Just like this biotech center. I am very excited for Armenia,” stated Kirit Velani, the Managing Director of FMD K&L Europe.

“The opening of the largest biotech park in the region is very significant for Armenia. It not only created more than 160 jobs and will grow to 500, but it gives the opportunity for the youth, the young professionals of Armenia to show the world what we are made of and what we can accomplish,” mentioned Armen Avak Avakian, the CEO of Business Armenia.
