The creation of the business magazine is one of the most difficult projects in my journalistic career.

Despite the fact that businessmen are different someone has read and seen more, someone less, someone has achieved great success, someone is only at the beginning of his way- all businessmen are pretentious, ambitious and always eager for a victory.

Make own money, create something, employ at least one person - not everyone can do it. So, to tell these people something that might interest them is not an easy task.

To make this magazine is not simple as well. This is only the beginning. This is not the first edition of the magazine. It has an introductory character and is dedicated to our main partners - the Georgian Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

We will introduce you the Georgian Chamber of Commerce and Industry and its future plans.

In this magazine you will find information that can be useful in practice.

▶ The Georgian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GCCI) has existed for more than half a century.

However, the trade guilds culture of caravanserai existed in Georgia in the old times is an integral part of the history of the country. Generally, trading, manufacturing have always played the most important role in Georgia’s life and development.

From ancient times, Georgia was known as a land criss-crossed with caravan routes and functioned as a trade hub. The Silk Road is known for everyone.

Georgia became the center of the Black Sea

commerce. In the 19th century, Tbilisi and Batumi were regional commercial and economic centers like Dubai nowadays.

It was a little digression into the history...

Our priority is to promote the country’s economic development and trade, export, logistics, manufacturing play a huge role as in those days.

Therefore, the Chamber’s main task is to promote economic growth by supporting specific business entities. Promotion of Georgian products abroad, foreign trade, SMEs development, gaining foreign partners, consultations for startups or just established businesses, protection of their interests both inside and outside the country - this is an incomplete list of the activities carried out by the Chamber during these years.

It is important that over the years the Chamber has developed close ties with foreign partners. The Georgian Chamber of Commerce and Industry is represented in the governing bodies of various International Associations. For example, President of the Chamber is a Member of the Eurochambers’ Board of Directors and the Chamber’s member is President of the Confederation of Asia Pacific Chambers of Commerce and Industry (CACCI).

The Chamber plans to launch several major projects which aim to maximally involve a new generation in the business activities and enhance experience of established business as well as to keep them informed of the world economic situation. For this purpose, we decided to support this magazine.

In fact, we would like to publish a Georgian magazine that will reflects the Chamber’s activities, but mostly will cover the ongoing economic situation in the world. We will try to highlight key points and explain in plain language how one or another process affects Georgian businessmen.

In the end, I would like to congratulate the Georgian Chamber of Commerce and Industry as well as the Georgian business community on launching of the new magazine.

We hope that our magazine will be your constant and reliable partner and will contribute to your success: “Your Success is our Business”.

Tell us about the programs provided by the Academy, please?

Academy’s brand programs will differ from similar training courses offered on the market by the fact that each program will be built on a modular principle which will focus on the specific requirements and needs of business.

Each of these programs will be very flexible and result-oriented, thanks to the most modern and perfect adult learning methodology developed by the Academy (the Academy’s so-called golden key) and business processes of the international standards carried out on a daily basis.

I am proud to note a very practical approach to programs that many could not afford on the current training market. Each service and product, each program will be very practical. A practical solution to all the problems and requirements - that’s what both the business and any adult person need.

Please tell us about business training experts.

The team of qualified experts who are directly involved in developing the programs is a guarantee of all the abovementioned. All these experts advise business in Georgia and abroad as well as the policy, they are involved in developing the country’s legal and procedural regulations. They are trusted and recognized by both the local and international business companies, corporations, as well as the government institutions. The Academy and the team of experts know how to create a real product. I would like to reiterate once again - we know what it takes for businesses, how to help business and any interested person to achieve their goals.

The Academy’s all programs and projects will be a new word in a field of trainings and adult education.

The Academy’s brand programs will always be distinguished by its quality mark.

Also, we have a very innovative project, the Georgian Chamber of Commerce and Industry’s Business Incubator.

How was the idea born?

The market is devoid of IT technology-related business ideas, so an innovative concept born in this regard deserves attention. Our students often do not have the opportunity to implement the ideas on their own.

For this reason, the Chamber of Commerce decided to implement a project that will promote innovative students. We believe that a participation of various organizations in this process will play an important role in the upbringing and development of the young generation.

What is a business incubator?

The project is an opportunity for students to benefit from the infrastructure designed specifically for them free of charge as well as to get experience and gain knowledge from well-known and experienced experts. To implement their own ideas in practice, timely and correctly respond to the problem and properly arrange priorities.

What can you offer winners?

The winner will be given a status of a business incubator resident, which is a guarantee of his success. The status will allow him to enjoy a special space equipped with necessary inventory. We arranged a presentation and conference rooms; they will be exempt from paying utility bills. We strive to create maximum comfort which will enable them to smoothly carry out their own ideas during this a year.

How will the contest be conducted?

We launched a web page where detailed information was placed and the registration process is simplified. I will personally be a guarantor of the transparency of the competition. Upon my initiative, we’ve invited the country’s leading independent experts who will fairly select the incubator residents.

What do you expect from this project?

Our primary goal is to find a way for young people in the world of business. We hope that this project will launch completely different trends supporting the youth. We look forward to many interesting innovative proposals. I think innovators will receive a lot of good from us and we will possibly gain a certain experience from them.

The establishment of an international arbitration center is still something we are proud of, moreover, the center received the first request for a dispute proceeding.

After almost two years of a complex work, the Chamber has completed its project, as a result, the International Arbitration Center was officially opened in September.

Why did you decide to found the center?

The Chamber’s initiative on the formation of the international (regional) arbitration was based on the establishment of the first Institute of International Arbitration in Georgia, which previously did not exist. A group working on the project took the landmark on the creation of a nonprofit / unentrepreneurial organization, which had no precedent in Georgia. It’s important that various government, non-governmental and private organizations were involved in the process , as the Chamber’s goal was to implement a public project since the Arbitration Institute was supposed to be a flexible, reliable and unbiased center for disputes resolution raising between business entities in Georgia and throughout the region.

In order to share the best international practices when creating the Arbitration Institute, internationally recognized experts, leading arbitral institutions and legal firms were involved in the project at different stages. For example, the Haguebased Permanent Court of Arbitration (PCA), etc.

As a result, we may say that the Arbitration Rules of the Georgia International Arbitration Center is the document created in light of the most modern and latest trends.

As for the Arbitration Institute’s current activities and future plans ...

Apart from a dispute resolution, the Center is actively involved in various projects related to the development of arbitration in Georgia.

Memorandums on Cooperation are scheduled to be signed with leading international institutions. We are actively engaged in talks with partners to carry out a conference and introductory activities in the field of arbitration throughout the region in the coming year. We also plan to arrange seminars and trainings.

The Chamber together with other partner organizations has found the so-called “think tank” non-governmental organization whose main purpose is to prepare various economic and business surveys as well as to study and analyze a situation.

Is there a lack of high quality research and consultations in the country? What was the reason for starting the NGO? It will focus on preparation of various economic, business and marketing research and analysis.

The organization will systematically prepare an analysis on topical economic issues and various kinds of research. The information will be available to business entities in printed editions and on the official website.

The research center will be a non-profit organization, which will be staffed with qualified personnel, provided with proper technical and human resources. The strengths of the organization is an analysis of the object of study in the shortest time, a collaboration with non-governmental organizations, foreign companies, and the creation of a large-scale informative electronic research archive that will allow the business sector to find the interesting information in a short time and at a minimum cost.

This project will allow the Georgia Chamber of Commerce to establish a high –credibility precedent in a research activity for international organizations and companies.

I am glad that in the coming year the Georgian Chamber of Commerce and Industry will take part in the International Innovative Projects contest organized by ICC WCF 9th World Chambers Congress that will be held in Torino where we’ll present our “Culture Chamber” concept. I hope we’ll win, I know that the Chamber of Culture is unique in its concept and performance.

of efficiency-building supply chain applications and solutions.

The GS1 System provides several types of bar code for use by GS1 members depending on the application. The reasons for this vary but because different bar code types have different strengths and weaknesses, GS1 selects the bar code that best fits the application. The bar codes used by GS1 include EAN/UPC, GS1 DataBar, GS1-128, ITF-14, GS1 DataMatrix, GS1 QR Code and Composite Component.

GS1’s products and solutions are used across a wide range of industry sectors. GS1 also works with a wide range of national and international organizations.

In 1996, Georgia became the EAN International Association member. Initially it was called EAN Georgia. On May 3, 2005 according to the Georgian civil law, the registered union “Global Standards 1 Georgia” was founded. It is the legal successor of EAN Georgia.

The Union is a voluntary association, which introduces modern information technologies, e-business standards and systems in Georgia to interested parties.

As any other member country, Georgia has its own identification number assigned by the head office, which is reflected in the first three digits of a bar code. Only GS1 Georgia is authorized to provide GS1 barcode numbers with prefix 486, the prefix reserved for Georgia within the GS1 system.

Some companies use unofficial sources for GS1 bar code standards for product identification that undermines the uniqueness of the system, causing confusion in the market and creates a risk of duplication of numbers.

GS1 Georgia brings together those wishing to use the system on the principle of voluntary membership.

Georgia GS1 allocated unique numbers to member companies which are then placed in GEPIR (Global Electronic Party Information Registry) global database.

GEPIR search engine gives access to basic contact information for companies that are members of GS1.

GS1 Georgia includes more than 600 companies, which fully enjoy all favorable conditions created by GS1 for its member organizations.
