About this Event
Georgia restored its millennia-old statehood following the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. A critical part of rebuilding an independent, sovereign nation was developing a viable economic foundation. Unlike its resource-rich neighbors around the Caspian Sea, Georgia possesses limited oil and gas reserves. However, the country is endowed with other strategic assets, including its rich natural and cultural heritage and its location at the crossroads between Central Asia and European and global markets. Thirty-five years after regaining independence, Georgia offers insights into how these assets can be transformed into economic competitiveness. Join us for this conversation with Dr. Mamuka Tsereteli and Shota Bagaturia.
