Georgia

Overview

Georgia sits at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, where ancient trade routes crossed the Caucasus mountains. Its economy spans agriculture — wine is a celebrated export with an eight-thousand-year tradition — hydropower, tourism and a service sector centred on Tbilisi and the Black Sea port of Batumi.

The country has pursued close ties with the European Union and NATO while managing complex relations with Russia, and it became a transit corridor for goods and services following the redirection of trade routes after 2022. Tourism, logistics and digital services are growing, while institutions, currency stability and regional geopolitics shape investor confidence.

On the rise

Trade corridor status, tourism and a distinctive wine and agricultural brand give Georgia a role larger than its size — with EU integration and infrastructure investment determining how much of the crossroads it captures.
