Business Georgia

What Business Georgia does

Business Georgia (JSC Business Georgia) is a privately held Georgian media company founded in 2014 and headquartered at 7 Robakidze Ave, Tbilisi, with an 11-50 employee footprint. It operates a multi-format platform combining a printed business magazine, a website and digital content hub, business forums, and multi-day business tours designed to connect Georgian commercial-sector companies with international investors, government bodies, and chambers of commerce.

Its product surface has expanded well beyond the original magazine into a layered ecosystem: core media products (Business Georgia Magazine, Business Forum, Business Tour in 3/4/5-day formats), platform offerings (Business Market, Business Academy, Business Expo, Business Club, Business Prize), and content properties (Business Blog, Business Review, Business Guide). The technology stack is conventional web CMS plus social distribution (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, X) and event management — there is no disclosed AI, API, or proprietary platform infrastructure.

The business model blends advertising and sponsorship, magazine subscriptions, tour and event registration fees, and paid commercial content placements, with pricing kept quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is hybrid: event- and community-led (organized business tours and forums anchoring investor matchmaking) layered on top of content-led audience development. Strategic partnerships with EUGBC, the Georgian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Innovation and Technology Agency, Tbilisi Tech Park, GSMEA, and Caucasus International University anchor the company's role as a connector within the Georgian and Caucasus-region business ecosystem.
