Shtigen Group’s “Sunrise” project and Awesome Nature Armenia environmental initiative are launching a joint program to promote alternative energy solutions in Armenia.

Shtigen Group and Awesome Nature Armenia environmental initiative are beginning a new partnership in an attempt to raise awareness of environmental issues and promote energy independence in local communities. With no age limitations, the Awesome Sunrise project will bring together talented individuals from all around Armenia to design, develop, or execute alternative handmade energy sources using available resources.

“We are excited to begin this joint project because the challenges facing our nation need a consolidation of efforts. We will demonstrate our resourcefulness and get a step closer to innovative thinking, sustainable resource management, and energy independence with this,” states Vahe Salahyan, one of the trustee-coordinators of the Awesome Nature Armenia environmental initiative.

According to Arpi Harutyunyan, Public Relations Officer of Shtigen Group, the Awesome Sunrise project raises the threshold for accountability, and it will be carried out within the framework of the group of companies’ corporate national responsibility,

“A few months ago we decided to implement this project in Artsakh with the aim of making the energy crisis at least somewhat tolerable for our compatriots. The September events also changed the course of our program. However, we have not given up the idea,” says Arpi Harutyunyan.

“In this ever-changing world and especially in this region, our country is not immune to the energy crisis either, and the more prepared we are, including at the micro level, the more painless the process of overcoming it will be. Encouragement of innovative ideas also stems from the values of our company, hence, in this context, the objectives align,” added Arpi Harutyunyan.

Educational and informational materials will also be created as part of the joint program, and they will be posted on social media platforms throughout and after the project.
