Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan expressed gratitude to U.S. President Donald Trump for the federal government’s approval to export Nvidia chips to Armenia for a $500-million supercomputer project.

AI startup Firebird Inc. received U.S. government approval to export Nvidia chips to Armenia. The effort, which was announced in June, will bring the first large-scale AI data center to the region. The 100-megawatt facility — backed by an initial $500 million investment — will use AI servers from Dell Technologies Inc. and Blackwell processors from Nvidia, Bloomberg reported .

“I recently had the opportunity to discuss this topic with President Trump. Investors had certain concerns regarding the procedures, and I am pleased and grateful that the White House responded promptly and appropriately, and that this investment program will now, essentially, be confidently implemented,” Pashinyan said at a press briefing.

The Prime Minister emphasized that this investment program is of significant importance to the technology sector.

The process was facilitated within the framework of the Armenia-U.S. memorandums of understanding signed in Washington.
