A liberal environment for trade and investment, a business-friendly administration and the existence of an Association Agreement and a deepened and comprehensive free trade agreement with the EU make Georgia a desirable business partner for German companies.

Its strategic location between Europe and Asia allows Georgia to position itself as a regional hub for trade and energy for the South Caucasus. The country’s modernisation and expansion of its transport, energy and social infrastructure as well as the water, waste water management and irrigation sectors, will open up further business opportunities. The Georgian government is fostering the development and expansion of the food indutry. There is great potential for cooperation on exports of German machinery and equipment to Georgia and great demand among Georgian entrepreneurs for German expertise in various management areas.

For the Georgian economy, Germany is the most important procurement market in the EU. This means that Georgian managers from almost all sectors take part in Partnering in Business with Germany.

In March 2024, the Georgian alumni association “Georgian Partnership Association with Germany” was founded. The association will be a platform for all Georgian alumni to exchange experiences and knowledge. It will promote networking between Georgian alumni and the German economy as part of the Partnering in Business with Germany Programme.
