According to their information, the President of Georgia addressed the participants of the event, emphasized the importance of technologies and innovations and spoke about cooperation with foreign partners in this field.

"I am glad that we have the opportunity to meet here in this format. Your field, your initiative, startups and this whole field of innovation, technology is not only important for Georgia today, but even more important for tomorrow, because it is a growing field that has the ability to bring investments to the country, introduce ourselves to the world and the world market and thereby promote all kinds of development. Technologies and innovations, with this the country's economy actually develops, and it cannot develop without it. Therefore, on the line of economy, you are our front line, so to speak, and not only the economy, this includes everything: knowledge, development, education and generally the dynamism of the country and its economy. If it is not dynamic, then something is going wrong and this is not the country we want.

Also, you represent a sector that is very connected to our foreign partners. I know how much you are intertwined and dependent on it, your development also depends on it, and therefore, in today's situation, which is very difficult, but not hopeless, in this difficult situation, we must protect these relations with you and protect the future development of these relations, that is, our European and Western way.

One more thing I want to tell you is that in October I have been invited to France, at the Francophonie Summit, within the framework of which a very large meeting of innovations and technologies is being held. I have been invited as the president, and I was asked that if there is an opportunity with you, the delegation will be the startups and the representatives of this field, who will gather within the summit and have the opportunity to have familiarization meetings with each other. Let's see how these next months will develop," said the President.
