Erti Kava
Erti Kava café’s story began in Mestia two years ago when Tania Merzalia was travelling through Georgia with friends. Admiring and inspired by the country, its mountains and a love of coffee, the girls decided to start a business in Georgia. They had no idea about the marketing, but they took a risk and succeeded; producing well-loved coffee for mountain enthusiasts. A second branch of Erti Kava has been opened in Tbilisi, where guests can choose from 15 different coffees and Georgian teas. The coffee is European, the theme and interior Georgian. The girls now have their sights on Sighnagi and Batumi.
Geotoys
Geotoys is a new company on the Georgian toy market producing the eco-friendly wooden toys in accordance with European standards. David Katsitadze had the idea in 2005 and launched a quickly successful company. From the local market, Geotoys is now making its name on foreign markets through international exhibitions and contracts with European brands. Negotiations with the German Goki and Greek Cerious companies are ongoing, while interest has also been expressed from The Netherlands, France and the UK. Test batches have been distributed and the technical equipment of the enterprise renovated for future production.

Before the startup, she had successfully collaborated with famous brands like Channel and Urban Outfitter. Sichinava has had photoshoots for the New York Magazine, Weekender and the Australian Vogue. Exploring Parisian vintage shops inspired the photographer to launch her online store, which offers handmade vintage clothing. The company achieved fast success, with customer numbers on the rise and 95% of sales coming from foreign markets.
