From December 10 to 12, 2025, New York City hosted the International Georgian–American Business Forum, a multi-day initiative that brought together a series of thematically connected events. The forum was designed to empower women entrepreneurs, foster global cooperation, and promote innovative approaches to business.
The three-day program combined practical networking opportunities with in-depth professional discussions. The first day focused on introducing Georgian businesses and highlighting their economic and cultural context. The second day emphasized opportunities for collaboration with international institutions and policy-level dialogue.
The forum concluded on December 12 with an international business conference held at LUMA Studios in New York City (Garment District, 38th Street & 8th Avenue).
The conference brought together women entrepreneurs, business leaders, industry experts, and representatives of the Georgian diaspora from Georgia, the United States, and Europe.
The conference featured panel discussions, thematic workshops, and presentations covering key topics such as women’s leadership in today’s business environment, strategies for entering international markets, social entrepreneurship, digital transformation, and access to finance.
Particular emphasis was placed on showcasing Georgian businesses and products to an international audience, as well as highlighting the important role of the Georgian diaspora in advancing global economic cooperation.
Through the forum and its accompanying events, meaningful opportunities for collaboration were created across the civil society, business, and public sectors, in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
