Estonia is No 1 Again

Everyone knows that Estonia is the world's most advanced digital society. Marina Aghayan and her Estonian startup FACT Industries have proved that again on December 21, 2019 in Yerevan, Armenia. Marina took home the $30,000 NerUzh first place prize at the competition organized by the Armenian Government for Armenia diaspora tech startups from around the globe. Team of chemical engineers Phd offer 3D printed ceramic-based thermal management systems (heat sinks, packages) using novel advanced material developed by FACT Industries in Estonia. Marina is currently planning on opening a 3D printing laboratory in Armenia which would provide the supplementary research for their headquarters in Tallinn. The startup’s innovative 3D manufactured parts (which utilize an in-house developed proprietary thermal material) have already found customers among the European Space Agency and private European firms such as RHP Technology and the French giant Egid. 

This year, Neruzh hosted 50 startups from 14 countries around the world. Inga Klimasauskiene, representative of the Baltic American Chamber of Commerce (BACC) was invited by organizers as an expert and served as a member of a Jury.
