The international Doing Digital Forum (DDF) and Georgia’s E-Commerce Association have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) as part of Doing Digital Forum 2025.

The agreement was signed by DDF’s Founder and Director, Tatevik Simonyan, Co-founder and President of E-Commerce Association - Georgia, Vladimer Kandelaki.

Now in its third edition, DDF 2025 will take place on April 3 at Dvin Hall, under the theme “Future of Money: Economic Impact.” This partnership, launched ahead of the forum, aims to promote the development of digital commerce and the digital economy in the region through joint programs, initiatives, and the exchange of expertise and knowledge.

Under the MoU, both parties express their willingness to combine their efforts, experience, and capabilities to support the activation of the business environment in Armenia and Georgia, particularly for companies operating in the financial technology and e-commerce sectors.

“Digital transformation is an inevitable global process, and every country strives to keep pace with these changes and innovations. From the very beginning, the Doing Digital platform was established with the vision of bringing international expertise not only to Armenia but to the entire region. Today, we are pleased to see that we have become a key platform to discuss local and global solutions, learn from one another, and inspire each other in the digital transformation process. I am confident that through this collaboration with our Georgian partners, we will join forces to localize innovative solutions in the digital business and technology sectors, creating opportunities for exploring new trends and strengthening business connections between our two countries,” stated Tatevik Simonyan.

She noted that technologies are reshaping the economy and the global financial landscape, setting new agendas and accelerating the transformation of all societal systems. In this context, DDF25, responding to the global agenda, will explore how the future of money is being shaped and how financial and economic systems will evolve in step with technological advancements.
