Tbilisi is preparing to host the Global Investors Forum (GIF 2025), a major economic event aimed at boosting cooperation between GCC countries and Eurasia. 

Organized with EurAsia Gulf and ICC Georgia, and supported by AGI Holding, ICC, and several international partners, the forum will bring together more than 1,500 participants, 70 institutional investors, and 50 speakers from over 40 countries.

Scheduled for 4–5 December 2025, GIF will focus on five sectors: sustainability and technology, tourism, digital assets, real estate and infrastructure, and agricultural technology. The event is expected to generate strategic partnerships and major memoranda of understanding between governments and private investment institutions, especially from the GCC.

Hosting GIF 2025 underscores Georgia’s rising role as a regional economic bridge. UAE–Georgia relations continue to strengthen, with more than USD 6 billion in joint projects and the UAE now representing over 63 percent of Georgia’s trade with Arab countries. 

GIF 2025 is expected to produce major investment agreements worth hundreds of millions of dollars, especially in renewable energy and digital infrastructure.
