Economy Minister: Davos meetings to bring investments to Georgia

Georgian Economy Minister Levan Davitashvili summarised meetings held by the Georgian Government delegation at the World Economic Forum in Davos this week by saying the discussions had been "exceptionally fruitful and interesting" and would “definitely bring concrete results”.

The Ministry of Economy on Friday cited Davitashvili as saying there had been interest shown by representatives of “each company” the delegation led by Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili met at the event.

We had provided them with advance information about specific projects [before the meetings]. However, I think personal meetings are particularly useful and will definitely bring concrete results, which will be reflected in investments”, Davitashvili said. 

The Minister also said the projects discussed at the meetings were enjoying "special attention" and attracting interest from investors and the international community in general.

The ambitious plans that we announced [...] and are related to the renewed transport and port infrastructure, as well as operation of more foreign companies in energy and innovation and technology in Georgia [...] will be even more tangible", he added. 

Davitashvili also pointed to meetings with officials at the Forum, saying they had also shown a “particularly great interest in Georgia”, with the PM having a “very interesting panel discussion” counterparts from state leaders and representatives of the European Union, where the FM said the importance of Georgia had been “emphasised".
