Smart Capital: Davos to Host Caspian Week Business Forum

On January 16-20, Davos will host the Caspian Week Business Forum organized by Swiss Integral Petroleum and its Georgian partner oil products transportation company – Smart Capital.

The Forum aims to intensify employment of Caspian-Black Sea and Silk Road resources and to create business development opportunities throughout the region.

The Forum will be attended by representatives of the business sector, global financial institutions, banks, logistics and transportation companies, manufacturing and investment companies and Silk Road countries, including Georgia.

At the Forum, experts will introduce regional development perspectives and new business opportunities in transport, investment attraction, healthcare and human resources management, infrastructure development and energy issues.

“The Forum provides a good platform to introduce the Region's resources to businessmen and outline new opportunities for business development,” Smart Capital founder Vano Chkhartishvili said.

“It is in Georgia's interest to attract as much cargo as possible and increase the role of our country as a key transport and energy hub of the Silk Road. Over recent years our company has handled millions of tons of oil products via Georgian railway and seaports. We hope after the Forum we will increase cargo turnover and create new job placement. The Forum will be held annually,” Chkhartishvili said.
