Synopsys pretends US Sec. State’s award

Synopsys-Armenia has been selected as one of twelve US finalist companies for US Secretary of State’s prestigious 2010 Award for Corporate Excellence (ACE), according to a release by US Embassy in Yerevan.

These US companies were chosen from a record number of 78 nominations submitted by American ambassadors around the world.

ACE finalists are international business leaders who recognize the vital role that US businesses play abroad as good corporate citizens. Synopsis was recognized for the software and programming company’s promotion of US 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 2010 ACE winners will be announced at the annual ceremony hosted by the Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton later this fall.
