Situated at the strategically important crossroads where Europe meets Asia, Georgia has undergone almost a decade of reforms aimed at modernizing and privatizing its economy. The World Bank’s “Doing Business” report named Georgia as the world’s top reformer in 2006, and ranked it 11th globally for ease of doing business in 2010. How did this transformation come about in a nation once mired in poverty, corruption and crime? Join us for a one-on-one interview with President Mikheil Saakashvili, who will discuss his drive to streamline regulation and taxation with the goal of making Georgia more business-friendly and more attractive to foreign investors. In this candid conversation, he will discuss Georgia’s progress as it seeks to build a democratic society and continue on a path to prosperity.
