The AGBC will address policy and business initiatives that may help Georgia and U.S. companies involved in Georgia to capitalize on free trade arrangements with the European Union, Turkey, CIS countries, and China. We will look at success stories and explore desirable reforms to policies and practices in Georgia within a regional context. Georgia can attract foreign direct investment and generate job growth through legal and regulatory reforms that could make it the premier investing destination to access the New Silk Road's market of 2.5 billion people.
