What Infrastructure Construction Companies’ Association / ინფრასტრუქტურის მშენებელთა ასოციაცია ICCA does

ICCA (Infrastructure Construction Companies' Association / ინფრასტრუქტურის მშენებელთა ასოციაცია) is a Georgian non-profit industry association founded in 2015 and headquartered at 48 Iakob Gogebashvili Street in Tbilisi's Mtatsminda District. It represents 40+ member companies across the infrastructure construction value chain, including contractors (Anagi, Dagi Construction, Black Sea Group, Tesen Group, Caucasus Road Project, Prime Concrete), material producers (HeidelbergCement Georgia), financial institutions (Bank of Georgia, TBC Bank, Liberty Bank), insurers, and educational institutions. With a team of 8 employees, ICCA operates as a member-driven body governed by an elected board, providing advocacy, regulatory engagement, and member services to the Georgian infrastructure construction sector.

Its service portfolio spans five functional areas: (1) government advocacy and direct engagement with the Prime Minister's office, the Infrastructure Ministry, and the Regional Development Ministry on public procurement reform and sector policy; (2) vocational education and professional development, including a 'Road Construction' textbook developed with GIZ, labor-safety seminars, and accredited courses delivered through partner institutions such as Business and Technology Academy, Management Academy, Georgian Technical University, and Spectri Public College; (3) preferential partner services negotiated for members, including a 40% discount on audit and consulting from Nexia TA, inspection services from Optimal Group+, VAT-return services from Fly Help, accident insurance from Insurance Company Alpha, basalt fiber products from Basalt Fibers, and hospitality packages from Paragraph Resort and Spa; (4) networking and information dissemination through industry events such as Caucasus Build panel discussions and seminars with firms like BV Consulting on regulatory topics; and (5) public-procurement legislative advocacy in coalition with the European Business Association (EBA), supported by the Center for International Private Enterprise (CIPE).

ICCA's business model is membership-funded: revenue derives from member dues and donor-grant-funded projects delivered through international development partners (notably GIZ and CIPE). There are no technology products, no proprietary software platform, and no AI/ML components; distribution is delivered through ICCA's headquarters team, partner organizations, and event-based channels. Strategic positioning is concentrated on regulatory influence and member-service aggregation rather than commercial monetization.
