About GFTN Tbilisi Finance Summit

At the crossroads of Europe and Asia, Georgia is fast emerging as a strategic hub for the next phase of financial transformation. As trade routes shift and digital infrastructure takes root, the region offers a powerful vantage point for reimagining how finance moves, scales, and governs itself across borders.

The GFTN Tbilisi Finance Summit is a by-invitation-only, gathering senior leaders from the public and private sectors to chart that future. Held on alongside the Silk Road Forum, the summit brings together decision-makers and senior leaders from government, finance, technology, and investment to explore new capital corridors, policy frameworks, and digital innovations. This summit is where dialogue becomes alignment, and where emerging markets play a defining role in shaping global finance.

A Region on the Rise

At the intersection of Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, the region surrounding Tbilisi is emerging as a critical hub for financial transformation. From cross-border infrastructure to digital finance adoption, it offers the right conditions for public-private innovation to take hold, and scale.

GFTN recognises this potential. With existing connectivity across global capitals from Singapore and Shanghai to Zurich, Kigali and São Paulo,  the Tbilisi Finance Summit strengthens our network in one of the world’s most dynamic growth corridors. It is a natural point of convergence for leaders seeking to align on regulation, infrastructure, and new models of capital movement.

This is where global ambition meets regional momentum.
