Founder and CEO of GIPHY Alex Chung said he is excited to see what happens in the next few days during WCIT 2019.

“I think it is going to be amazing. I’ve never been to Armenia, I have Armenian friends. I know a lot of engineers coming from Armenia right now, and it is a hub for a lot of technology in this area,” he told Armenian News-NEWS.am after arriving in Yerevan.

Asked whether he knows anything about IT in Armenia, Chung added that PicsArt founder Hovhannes Avoyan is his friend.
