Investors' interest in Georgia has increased due to the rearrangement of global transport lines.
"Investors are looking for warehousing infrastructure in order to transport goods through Georgia to Europe," Davit Ebralidze, General Director of the Poti Free Industrial Zone, told bm.ge.
According to him, Free Industrial Zone infrastructure has become quite attractive for investors, because the interest in the Middle Corridor has increased significantly against the backdrop of the Russia-Ukraine War. As Ebralidze explains, there is interest mainly from the CIS countries and Central Asia. Several European companies and businesses from neighboring Turkey also want to operate in the FIZ.
"In Georgia, investors are looking for spaces where they can place their products, which will then be exported to Europe through ports and not only by land transport. I want to tell you that in our reality this year has been one of the best. I mean, we have already registered more than 30 companies, although compared to previous years, we were focused on trade and service companies, this year it changed and we attracted industries or investors who invested money and created real infrastructure and employed people", - says Davit Ebralidze.
