New University Town to Be Built in Kutaisi

A new university town is planned for Kutaisi, western Georgia, set to be the largest of its kind in the Caucasus region.  Equipped with modern infrastructure and new laboratories, it will be an educational-scientific center for the western part of Georgia, as well as for the wider region.

The total budget for the new university town, as well as for the Tbilisi-based Technological Institute is EUR 1 billion, fully financed by Cartu Fund.

With a capacity of 60,000 students, the university town in Kutaisi will have 140 hectares of land, making it a home for future top professionals in all the fields, something much needed  for the fast growth of the country’s economy.  

The new university complex is expected to receive its first students in 2019.

Cartu Fund will fully finance all works related to the construction and technical equipping of the Kutaisi University complex and the Tbilisi Technological Institute, and will hand over full ownership of both to the State.
