The International Transport and Logistics Exhibition and Forum will take place on March 12–13 in Expo Georgia in Tbilisi. It will be the second time the event takes place, with the support of TBC. Expo Georgia and consulting company Savvy organize the conference.
Support and development of a strategically important sector of the economy is the main objective of the international exhibition and forum. Local and international logistics companies, representatives of ports and railway operators, air carriers, investment and financial institutions, as well as import–export-oriented businesses will gether at the event.
Such key industry topics as the strategic importance of the Middle Corridor, development of the Zangezur route, sector challenges, investment attraction opportunities, and the dynamics of digital logistics development will be discussed during the two-day forum by participants.
Evidently, one of the strategic pillars of Georgia’s economy is the logistics sector. The reason is the country’s geographic location positions that link Europe and Asia. They increase Georgia’s transit potential and directly contribute to its economic activity. More than 6% of GDP account for the sector that showed stable growth in recent years.
Giorgi Darchiashvili, Director of Corporate Clients Services (Large and Medium Business) at TBC , acknowledges that logistics is a strategically important direction for TBC. He explains that the sector strengthens Georgia’s role in regional trade by uniting businesses involved in exports, as well as by supporting imports. Holding such events like this forum creates a platform for dialogue, knowledge sharing, and new partnerships, contributing to the sector’s sustainable long-term development. As a financial partner, TBC actively supports infrastructure projects, business expansion of its clients, and the implementation of modern technologies. This led to the growth of TBC’s logistics sector portfolio by 74% over the past three years and reaching GEL 436 million.
Georgia’s logistics sector has been demonstrating a steady development in recent years. So, its strategic importance for the country increases. This was the main motivation for launching the first exhibition and forum last year, which was highly successful. This year’s event is going to overcome the first one.
According to Resan Kikava, Director of Expo Georgia Today, it has already become an annual event and one of the most important industry platforms, bringing together local and international companies, investors, and industry professionals to share experience and jointly contribute to the development of the logistics sector in Georgia and across the wider region.
NH Logistics GEO has been offering IOR Importer of Record and EOR Exporter of Record services since 2001 and is a market leader in Georgia and Eurasia, supporting many clients with their import/export shipments.
