Silicon Valley Tbilisi Set to Open Friday

TBILISI – Georgia’s new research, business and development center, known as the Silicon Valley Tbilisi Project is scheduled to open to the public of Friday.

The space will include business and technology centers, an IT academy, media space, schools and sports facilities.

The complex is situated near Tbilisi’s popular Turtle Lake.

The Georgian government has already agreed on partnerships with more than 60 international companies with exclusive reach to the global market.

The reason for developing the complex comes from the numerous untapped possibilities Georgia has to offer. We’ve been analyzing global trends and tendencies that will help with Georgia’s development,” the Business and Technology University’s Director Mikheil Batiashvili said, during a media scrum.   

 “The mission of Silicon Valley Tbilisi is to become a regional educational hub that will meet the educational needs to be competitive in the global market. Our objective is to train highly qualified professionals and to give them a chance to be hired by leading international companies, without leaving Georgia. “Batiashvili said.
