A first Technology Hub has opened in Kutaisi, combining science and technology laboratories, educational facilities, entrepreneurial spaces, international educational programs, and start-up development infrastructure.
A shared vision and shared goals drive Kutaisi International University (KIU) and the Kutaisi Technology Hub in their effort to develop a unified STEM ecosystem that will strengthen the country's capabilities in education, science, innovation, and technological entrepreneurship.
The Technology Hub is particularly significant for KIU students, offering a modern, practice-based learning environment that creates numerous opportunities to develop innovative projects and establish start-ups.
The collaboration between Kutaisi International University and the Kutaisi Technology Hub will strengthen links between the private sector, academia, and broader technology ecosystem, facilitating the development of professional skills among young people through the execution of real-world projects.
Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze, together with government officials, opened the first Technology Hub established by Georgia's Innovation and Technology Agency (GITA) under the Ministry of Economy and Sustainable Development. The opening ceremony was attended by Vakhtang Tsagareli, Executive Director and Rector of Kutaisi International University, and KIU Chancellor Dr. Levan Kopaliani.
This project is one of Georgia's largest investments in technological development and seeks to position the country at the forefront of regional innovation.
