Yerevan/Mediamax/. Synopsys in Armenia has been selected as one of twelve finalists for the Secretary of State’s 2010 Award for Corporate Excellence (ACE).

Mediamax was informed in the press service of U.S. Embassy in Armenia that these companies were chosen from a record number of 78 nominations submitted by American ambassadors around the world. Companies, working with American capital outside the USA, become finalists of this Award.

“Synopsis was recognized for the software and programming company’s promotion of U.S. and foreign investors by showcasing Armenia as a potential informational technology (IT) hub; its collaboration with universities on IT training programs; and its reduction of pollution levels in Armenia by planting hundreds of trees to counter recent deforestation”, the Embassy noted.
