Georgia enjoys first Technology Park, offering platform for creative thinkers

Georgia is stimulating the development of entrepreneurial, knowledge-based small and medium-sized enterprises (or SMEs) in the country by building the first High Technology and Innovation Development Centre.

The new facility, commonly referred to as Technology Park, is expected to promote scientific research and innovative ideas in Georgia as well as create a partnership between innovation and technology.

The new complex will provide resources for start-up and small-sized companies that has not been accessible before. The Technology Park will play an important role in the creation of new companies, current business development, commercialisation of innovations and creation of high-paid jobs.

The Technology Park will also give Georgia an opportunity to create local branches of international companies and attract foreign investments.
