I wish to particularly thank the investors for making this decision and constructing a plant right in Georgia. Several alternatives were considered and it is noteworthy that investors took a decision in favor of Georgia" noted the Prime Minister of Georgia.
According to the Head of Government of Georgia, foreign direct investments (FDI) is of particular impotence for the country as it is a guarantee to the creation of more jobs in the national economy.

This particular enterprise will employ 300 people.

I believe that incorporation of such plants will make the education sector reform successful and vice versa. We will manage to incentivize greater interest among the investors within the scope and through the education sector reform. Thus and ultimately such enterprises will multiply throughout the country" added the Prime Minister of Georgia.
