"Kolba Lab" is an idea incubator supported by UNDP and European Union in Armenia. Since 2016 the Lab has joined efforts with the TMCYC in identifying and incubating innovative solutions towards an ambitious Smart City vision for Yerevan. Due to this collaboration, the Yerevan townhall has hosted 70 data scientists and engineers for a 24-hour hacking race, to design cutting-edge data solutions during the first-ever Data Hackathon of Yerevan.
