The Georgian Economy Minister Levan Davitashvili said the Government was looking forward to deepening its cooperation with Iceland in green energy, innovation, tourism and other sectors.

Speaking at the Georgia-Iceland Business Roundtable session, which involved Iceland’s President Guðni Jóhannesson and representatives from public and private sectors of both countries, Davitashvili highlighted Georgia as a “leading” country in the wider region for renewable energy.

"We all know Iceland’s significant experience in the rational use of various energy sources. Georgia, located at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, has a unique mix of opportunities, which makes it an attractive place for both business and foreign direct investment”, - Davitashvili said.

The Georgian Minister emphasized the country’s flexible and healthy investment environment that was meeting the availability of green energy and free trade in markets of 2.3 billion consumers worldwide.
