The Tbilisi Silk Road Forum serves as a vital platform for strengthening trade, economic, and political ties. It enhances connectivity and encourages greater participation of countries involved in the Middle Corridor initiative.

This year’s forum will bring together heads of state, government ministers, CEOs, representatives of international organizations, and experts. Its collaborative atmosphere fosters direct dialogue between policymakers and business leaders, creating opportunities for public-private partnerships and new project development.

First launched in October 2015, the forum has grown into a globally recognized event. Its successful organization is crucial for Georgia’s political and economic standing and enhances the country’s international reputation as a key hub in trade and regional cooperation.
