The Kutaisi Technology Hub, expected to open this autumn in the former parliament building, is anticipated to be a major innovation center for the region, the Georgian Ministry of Economy stated on Wednesday.
Deputy Economy Minister Irakli Nadareishvili called the project, now in its final construction phase, “a significant development not solely for Georgia, but for the wider region, in both scale and the multifunctionality of the project.”
The hub will include:
- An international IT and technology school for at least 1,000 students
- A scientific and technological museum
- Georgia’s National Intellectual Property Centre
- The country’s largest technology park and industrial innovation lab
- 3D printing, robotics, drones, IoT, VR/AR facilities, and more
The hub will also feature a creative technologies center, AI data and competence centers, and spaces for international technology companies. Nadareishvili stated that such a unique blend will make it a regional leader in technological development.
External infrastructure and engendering system upgrades are currently being made.
