RECONOMY is supporting Georgia to strengthen green

RECONOMY is supporting Georgia to strengthen green and inclusive economies by:

Embedding circular practices and green business models in textiles and apparel. New curricula in Tbilisi State Academy of Arts integrated modules on zero waste design, eco-printing, and sustainable material use. Collaboration with SMEDA created roadmaps and internship opportunities, accelerating youth employment. LLC Napirze advanced recycling solutions, while linkages with Open Trade Gate Sweden connected Georgian enterprises to European markets. Partnerships with European buyers will continue to strengthen Georgia’s international market access.

Positioning the country as a hub for cross-border sustainable tourism in the South Caucasus. The Transcaucasian Trail (TCT) is advancing as a flagship regional product, linking communities, SMEs, and tour operators across borders and strengthening Georgia’s positioning in adventure tourism. Familiarization tours connected stakeholders from Armenia, Georgia, and Moldova, leading to the launch of two cross-border tour packages in niche adventure and cultural markets. By expanding cross-border itineraries and integrating local SMEs into regional and international value chains, Georgia is consolidating its leadership role as a hub for adventure and cultural tourism in the South Caucasus.

Building energy efficient Georgia. EECG (Energy Efficiency Centre Georgia) finalized the development of the course Energy Performance Certification (EPC) training. Midea has established a partnership with Kutaisi Technical University. The partnership aims to establish a laboratory in the university as a practical learning center.

These efforts are helping generate jobs, expand exports, and foster regional cooperation, while anchoring sustainability in local institutions.
