For the first time, Tbilisi hosted an International Digital Connectivity Summit, with the delegates from Europe, Central Asia, South Caucasus and China.

The attendees reviewed the deepening of intra-regional and inter-regional cooperation aiming at the development of digital connections.

“The development of telecommunications, transport, and energy corridors is important not only for Georgia but also for the countries of the South Caucasus region, the Black Sea basin and the Caspian basin. The foreign experts expect Asia–the Europe internet connectivity market to surge by 30% in the next 5 years. Georgia is well placed to participate in it actively. Georgia is ready to perform as a regional data exchange hub. Transforming Georgia into a digital hub will help attract investments and industrial growth locally and internationally”, - said Georgian Economy Minister Levan Davitashvili.
