Georgian Minister of Economy Natia Turnava, who attended the meeting, told the MEDEF members that Georgia is an 'attractive investment market' to the French companies, as over 350 companies of French origin operate in the country.
The French delegation proceeded to visit the President of Georgia Salome Zurabishvili at Orbeliani Palace, where she presented her views on Georgia's economic opportunities to the investors.
It is worth noting that, during the pandemic-related crisis, Georgia succeeded in opening a new university with a €1 billion investment capital, Zurabishvili told the French delegation.
