What Enterprise Georgia does

Enterprise Georgia is a government agency (LEPL — Legal Entity under Public Law) operating under the Ministry of Economy and Sustainable Development of Georgia, recently reorganized into JSC Economic Development Corporation of Georgia (GEDC). The agency provides investment promotion, business development, and export support services, primarily targeting Georgian small and medium-sized enterprises seeking to internationalize, alongside foreign investors and film production companies. It was established in 2016 and operates with 11–50 employees from its headquarters at 5/16-18 Marjanishvili Street in Tbilisi, with regional consultation centers including a Kakheti office in Telavi.

The agency runs a multi-program platform organized into three divisions: Business Development, Invest in Georgia, and Export Support. Digital assets include the TradeWithGeorgia.com B2B marketplace for exporter registration, an interactive geographic map indexing Georgian producers across 12+ regions and 13+ industry sectors, and a free 11-module Export Management online course covering market research, Incoterms, documentation, and logistics. Support programs include the Export Assistance Program (grants up to GEL 20,000 for product licensing/certification and branding; up to EUR 10,000 equivalent for international sales stimulation in target markets such as Gulf countries, EU, UK, USA, Canada, Japan), Film in Georgia production incentives, a Credit Guarantee Mechanism, a Mortgage Subsidy Program, a Capital Market Support Program, and a Microenterprise Support Program.

Enterprise Georgia does not generate commercial revenue; it is government-funded and channels public funds alongside international donor financing (notably World Bank IBRD 9239 Georgia MSMEs Project and USAID G4G). Distribution combines digital channels (TradeWithGeorgia.com, online training) with in-person regional consultation services and co-financed international exhibitions and trade missions. The agency was recognized with the WTPO Best Export Supporter Agency award in 2020.

Direct peers

• CzechInvest: Czech Republic's investment and business development agency operating under the Ministry of Industry and Trade. Offers comparable services — investment promotion, SME support, innovation grants, and film production incentives (Czech film incentive program) — parallel to Enterprise Georgia's Film in Georgia program and broader mandate.
• Italian Trade Agency (ITA): Italian government agency focused on promoting Italian exports and supporting Italian SMEs at international trade fairs. Highly comparable in its combination of trade fair co-financing, B2B matchmaking, training programs, and sector-specific export support — mirroring Enterprise Georgia's Export Assistance Program structure.
• InvestChile: Chile's foreign investment promotion agency, providing investment advisory, aftercare services, and export promotion support. Closely mirrors Enterprise Georgia's combined FDI attraction and exporter support focus, particularly relevant as a Latin American counterpart in a small emerging economy.
• Polish Investment and Trade Agency (PAIH): Polish government agency combining FDI promotion and export support for SMEs in a single institution. Comparable scale and structure to Enterprise Georgia, with similar service offerings including regional offices, online training, trade missions, and grant co-financing.
• ProColombia: Colombia's export promotion, tourism, and investment agency. Directly comparable emerging-market trade promotion organization with sector-specific programs, B2B matchmaking, market intelligence services, and FDI facilitation — paralleling Enterprise Georgia's three-pillar model.

Broad incumbents

• Germany Trade & Invest (GTAI): Germany's economic development agency promoting Germany as a business location and supporting German companies abroad. Matches Enterprise Georgia's combined investment promotion + export support mandate and its use of digital tools, market reports, and B2B event organization.
• Business France: France's national agency supporting French companies' international expansion and facilitating foreign investment into France. Directly comparable in mission: organizing trade missions, B2B matchmaking, VIE program, and export advisory — analogous to Enterprise Georgia's trade missions, TradeWithGeorgia.com, and export training course.
• Enterprise Singapore: Singapore's government agency that combines trade promotion, investment attraction, and enterprise development under one roof — a near-structural twin to Enterprise Georgia's three-division model (business development, invest, export). Both operate government-backed marketplaces and grant programs to grow local SMEs and attract FDI.
• U.S. International Trade Administration (ITA): U.S. Department of Commerce agency promoting U.S. exports and attracting FDI, with programs like the Gold Key Matching Service and trade missions. Highly relevant reference peer given Enterprise Georgia explicitly targets the USA as a priority export market and follows a comparable mandate of export promotion + investment attraction.

Regional players
