The Government of Georgia is creating a special group to convey the opportunities, problems and ideas of the business society to the Government, to foster entrepreneurial spirit in the country.

This will make your life and activities easier,” Georgia’s Prime Minister Giorgi Kvirikashvili told more than 50 members of the business society at a meeting today.

He revealed "a permanent dialogue format will be established with the small and medium-sized businesses” so the Government can be more aware of the opportunities and challenges facing the country’s business society.

The head of Georgian Government also talked about the four-point reform plan, which one of the main directions was developing entrepreneurial spirit.

The start-up financing fund will begin its activities in the near future. Meanwhile, the ‘Produce in Georgia’ state program is expanding; new sub-components are being added to the program. … Now we want to listen to your ideas about what should be done to encourage SMEs in Georgia further,” Kvirikashvili said.

The PM said the Government would share international best practices to encourage start-ups in Georgia and provide better financial support.
