Geocase

What Geocase does

Geocase (ჯეოქეისი) is a Georgian nonprofit analytical center (think tank) founded in 2019 and headquartered in Tbilisi, Georgia, with a second office opened in Washington D.C. in March 2025. The organization specializes in foreign policy, international relations, national security, economics, and European integration, with a particular focus on the South Caucasus region and Euro-Atlantic integration. Its core offerings include policy research and publications (GC Analysis, Geo Digest, Research Reports, a Blog), a structured training program on foreign policy and security topics delivered to young professionals and students, and the GEO Intel Project — a joint research initiative with Georgia's Intelligence Service.

Geocase serves four primary constituencies: Georgian government and parliamentary institutions (Parliament, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Intelligence Service), the international diplomatic community (NATO Information Center, foreign embassies, international think tanks), the academic community (Caucasus University, BTU, Tokyo University, exchange and research programs), and to a lesser extent media professionals. Its revenue model is predominantly that of a non-profit: most publications are freely distributed, while training programs and selective consulting represent the only identified revenue-generating streams, with no publicly disclosed pricing. Go-to-market is event-driven — conferences, webinars, training courses, and published research — supplemented by an active social media presence across Facebook, Twitter/X, YouTube, and LinkedIn.

The organization is staffed by approximately 35 directors, researchers, advisors, and advisory council members, including former senior diplomats (notably John Christian Kornblum, former US Ambassador to Germany and OSCE, as Honorary Chairman), a retired Major General and former Head of Georgia's Intelligence Service (Shalva Lomidze), and multiple other ambassadors. It maintains a wide MoU network across Georgia, Turkey, Ukraine, India, Korea, Kazakhstan, Norway, Poland, Japan, and the United States. Proprietary technology is limited to a content website (geocase.ge); there is no disclosed software platform, no app, no API, and no AI/ML capability underpinning the research workflow.
