Georgia is a country that is moving dynamically, [...] for outsourcing firms that are looking for a new location, Georgia is ticking a lot of boxes [...] any organisation that is looking for a multilingual destination, with great technology skills, solid infrastructure and a business-friendly Government, Georgia needs to be very much at the top of their list”, Peter Ryan, the representative of the Ryan Strategic Advisory said.

We want to diversify our portfolio and expand our clients, [...] I think Georgia is a good opportunity for us”, said Hui Wu-Curtis, the Chief Operating Officer of the minority-owned BPO Support U, explaining the reason for visiting Georgia that was the country’s “strong technical capabilities and strong English abilities”, as well as sustainability to be able to bring operations to the country.
