Georgia’s place in global Logistics chain

The modern civilized world is not driven anymore by superpowers solo. Today, being influential is not about only a military might or quantity of square kilometers. It’s about a certain high-value position on the international trade market.

In a rapidly changing world of overwhelming progress of communication and technology, different nations try to obtain their individual and unique niches in their way. These could be Hi-tech, Industry, Manufacturing, Brand, Agriculture, Tourism, Safe and Secure economic environment, Fossil, Renewable energy, Intellectual Property, etc. Nowadays, in the fierce international competition, these are the means countries manage to stay afloat with.

Have you ever thought, what could be such a resource or position for Georgia today? How can it contribute to global advancement?

Georgia’s historic role and future perspective could be discussed endlessly. However, one was always clear and undisputable: Its strategic geographical position. In every time and circumstance, situated between two seas (Black and Caspian), being like narrow aisle through Caucasus mountain range, Georgia always served as a gateway between two worlds: East and West. That is why through the ages, the country enjoyed a vast variety of nicknames, like: “East-West linking corridor”, “Euro-Asia Bridge”, “Eurasian Gateway” and so on, not to mention great Francis Fukuyama’s theory about Georgia and the historic route of Silkroad crossing our country.

As proof for strategic geo-location, we can list down a number of powerlines and pipelines that cross our country today, as well as other ongoing infrastructural projects dedicated to transportation flow improvement, and initiatives slated for the future.

Yes, Georgia does represent a crucial link not only in regional but in a global chain of logistics. Gateway – that’s what its role can look like. Taking full advantage of it might be prosperous for the whole country and each of its citizens. Recently, we hear also about another concept such as – Logistics HUB. In fact, we do own all resources and circumstances to be transformed in a regional Logistics HUB and not only.

We, Logistics Solutions, have firmly decided to talk about this case, promote and discover yet uncovered possibilities of Georgia. From now, we are running a weekly blog for our faithful readers, where you will be exposed to a new Georgia as an important piece in the global logistics puzzle. Let's brainstorm, discuss and analyze our potential. Let's discover together and learn how to exploit these potentials properly.
