Located
in the Caucasus region, Georgia is a true gateway between Europe and
Asia. In recent years, the country has achieved impressive progress in
improving the business climate by implementing extensive reforms, a fact
supported by international researches and well-documented in a number
of international indices. Georgia is considered a politically stable,
corruption-free investment destination with low business costs, simple
business registration and straightforward tax structure.
Potential investment sectors:
Hospitality and Real estate
– Due to its location and rich natural and cultural resources, Georgia
offers a wide range of various resorts for any season: from the Black
Sea in the summer and the skiing resorts in the winter to the unique SPA
destination Tskaltubo and the springs in Borjomi and Sairme, Georgia
truly has immense potential for development of hotel, leisure, office,
retail and residential premises.
Energy –
Electricity consumption continues to rise thus creating great
opportunity to develop new power plants. And with the presence of
fast-flowing rivers and high mountains, Georgia has a competitive
advantage over the neighboring countries in terms of export
opportunities.
Manufacturing –
With a natural advantage of being a bridge between Asia and Europe,
competitive labour and low energy costs, low taxes, a corruption free
environment, as well as numerous free trade agreements, Georgia provides
many benefits to investments in food processing, packaging, production
of chemicals and household goods, perfumes and cosmetics and building
materials.
Logistics –
Due to its highly strategic location, Georgia is a historical corridor
for transportation between Europe and Asia. Between 60% and 90% of
cargo flow in Georgia is transit between the east and the west. Out of
the three main roads from Europe to Asia, the road through Georgia is
the most reliable and secure. Due to the stable political and economic
climate, the Caucasian corridor is becoming more and more attractive for
businesses. Customs clearance is fast and efficient, while transit is
free of tax.
Agriculture –
Georgia has 22 micro-climates allowing for longer harvesting seasons and
a variety of growing conditions perfect for producing a wide range of
grapes, other fruits, nuts and vegetables. With widely available water
resources, access to government grants, affordable labour and low
utility costs, Georgia is a perfect place to invest into agriculture.
Georgia is a regional center located on
the shortest route between Europe and Asia. International visitors enjoy
easy access by three international airports (Tbilisi, Batumi and
Kutaisi), a modern railway system and a liberalized visa regime. Georgia
has a Visa Free regime with citizens of 94 countries while holders of
valid multi visas or/and residence permits of 50 countries may enter and
stay in Georgia for 90 days within a one-year period.
