| 0:00:15 | Okay, you can start. There are two hundred people and they want to hear something |
|---|
| 0:00:20 | more about your project. |
|---|
| 0:00:22 | Hello everyone, from Armenia! |
|---|
| 0:00:25 | We are team... |
|---|
| 0:00:27 | That's not loud, the is not two hundred people. He will not believe us that |
|---|
| 0:00:31 | there are two hundred people. So, once more, hi! |
|---|
| 0:00:34 | Hi! |
|---|
| 0:00:35 | Yes, that's better, thanks. |
|---|
| 0:00:39 | We are team mLab, we are presenting project Clean H2O, which is about checking water |
|---|
| 0:00:45 | quality. |
|---|
| 0:00:46 | We designed and embedded platform which connects to different sensors that measure different parameters of |
|---|
| 0:00:52 | water and wirelessly sends it to wi-fi enabled devices. |
|---|
| 0:00:57 | The advantages of our system are that it is compact, it is cheap, it is |
|---|
| 0:01:01 | customisable and very easy to modify by adding or removing sensors. It has a user |
|---|
| 0:01:07 | friendly interface, it is wi-fi enabled and it also and analyzes the major data. |
|---|
| 0:01:14 | After extensive research, we came up with three alternative business models and divided our customer |
|---|
| 0:01:21 | group into three segments. |
|---|
| 0:01:45 | We have talked to prime minister of Armenia for collaboration in creating interactive water quality |
|---|
| 0:01:52 | map that will display the quality of water resources in our country in real time. |
|---|
| 0:01:58 | And finally, third segment includes population at risk, we have a dream to give them |
|---|
| 0:02:04 | solution to check water the quality that's decreasing the number of deaths, water bourne diseases |
|---|
| 0:02:09 | etc. |
|---|
| 0:02:12 | We have a great team of enthusiastic young people with the same vision that are |
|---|
| 0:02:16 | specialised in engineering, software development, organization and business development. We have many key business partners, |
|---|
| 0:02:23 | which you can see hare and we have worked on the project for more than |
|---|
| 0:02:27 | one year. |
|---|
| 0:02:28 | Thank you for listening and you're welcome to ask any questions. |
|---|
| 0:02:33 | Okay. |
|---|
| 0:02:33 | First segment include individual users, aquarium and swimming pool owners, aquaculture, food and beverage industries. |
|---|
| 0:02:33 | For example, imagine fishing farmers checking the chartability and oxygen quantity in water. |
|---|
| 0:02:33 | The second segment includes mining industries, irrigation centre, environmentalist and governments. |
|---|
| 0:02:42 | I have a few questions for you. Why did you choose this project? Why did |
|---|
| 0:02:47 | you start with Clean H2O? |
|---|
| 0:02:51 | So, the prior, initial mission, initial mission was to create some solution that would help |
|---|
| 0:02:56 | people who live in populations are already at risk, because they die everyday while drinking |
|---|
| 0:03:02 | polluted water. We wanted to create some affordable solution that would help them to check |
|---|
| 0:03:07 | the water quality before drinking. |
|---|
| 0:03:09 | So, that was our first mission and this is this is our final mission. |
|---|
| 0:03:15 | Okay, great. And the second question is that, what actually did prime minister of Armenia |
|---|
| 0:03:23 | tell you about your project? Is there, your government is going to really use your |
|---|
| 0:03:30 | software? |
|---|
| 0:03:32 | Yes, they told, the prime minister told us that they need side solution because monitoring |
|---|
| 0:03:38 | water quality in real time is something that is very needed for every country because |
|---|
| 0:03:42 | water problem is a great problem nowadays. And they told that they will be very |
|---|
| 0:03:47 | happy to collaborate with us for the further creation of that mat. |
|---|
| 0:03:52 | Okay, and last question for you. How how hard it is to start a company |
|---|
| 0:03:58 | in Armenia? Is it okay or do have many problem with the government? Does th,e |
|---|
| 0:04:05 | do the partners you have really support and in what way? How is it problematic |
|---|
| 0:04:10 | to start a company in Armenia? |
|---|
| 0:04:14 | The problem, the biggest problem is not the government. Biggest problem is just to get |
|---|
| 0:04:19 | the right business plan, because if you have wrong business plan you will just fail. |
|---|
| 0:04:24 | So I think the biggest problem it is in you, in your solution, not in |
|---|
| 0:04:28 | the other things. And our partners help us very much and our key business partner |
|---|
| 0:04:34 | is Microsoft Innovation Centre of Armenia. They help us very much with the marketing side, |
|---|
| 0:04:41 | because we are all engineers and software developers; we don't understand margin and marketing; they |
|---|
| 0:04:46 | help us very much. Okay, thank you, Narik. Thank very much. Thank you all, have |
|---|
| 0:04:52 | a nice day. Thank you. Bye-bye. |
