The agency provides Georgian exporters with a number of promotional programs in various exhibitions and other types of events including participation. It also allows local exporters to participate in up to 20 international exhibitions annually.
Approximately 40 Georgian companies are participating in the Shanghai exhibition with the support of the “Make in Georgia” agency. They produce food, alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, light industry leather and accessories, etc.
Georgia has three pavilions at the Shanghai exhibition this year. In addition to the pavilions of Georgian companies visitors to the exhibition have the opportunity to get acquainted with the country’s pavilion, where they will get information about Georgia’s culture and traditions, tourist attractions, important economic achievements and investment and business environment.
