The GBIF Organizing Committee claims that the main aim of the event has been achieved. International Delegates had the opportunity to pave the way to Georgia – a little country with the unlimited capacities and investment potential. Additionally, the forum assembled Local as well as International Delegates, in an effort to facilitate resource sharing and mutual support. The Global Business & Investment Forum truly served as a platform connecting delegates from all over the globe. Within the frames of the B2B Reception held for the forum delegates, a solid foundation for a bilaterally beneficial cooperation has already been laid. The GBIF Organizing Committee will estimate further results of the event.
