    GEORGIA Sub-Regional Innovation Policy Outlook 2020: Eastern Europe and the South Caucasus

    GEORGIA Sub-regional Innovation Policy Outlook 2020: Eastern Europe and the South Caucasus Chapter I ECONOMIC OVERVIEW General overview Georgia is a small, upper-middle-income country in the South Caucasus, connecting Europe to the Middle East and Central Asia. Since independence in 1991, the ensuing civil war and territorial disputes have made the transition to a market economy particularly challenging. Even so, Georgia is now one of the most open and easiest places to do business in the sub-region, with sustained albeit volatile growth. To continue to sustain growth and benefit from its manifold opportunities, however, Georgia needs to make better and systematic use of its potential, moving from a model of filling essential gaps to one based on broader experimentation with new and better ideas, business models, technology and governance arrangements. Reform process The radical improvement in Georgia stems from a series of far-reaching reforms. Following the Rose Revolution in 2003, structural changes in the institutional and legislative frameworks radically reduced petty corruption and improved the efficiency of government. Trade liberalization, including a range of free trade agreements, secured access to a diverse set of markets. Reforms of public financial management are under way, including the recently developed fiscal framework, changes in civil service pay and a transition to compulsory savings for retirement. As a result, Georgia has moved up quickly in the Ease of Doing Business ranking of the World Bank (2020a), reaching seventh place globally for regulatory performance. Although several efforts are under way, such as more investment into infrastructure, education and administration, further reforms are needed to restructure, diversify and increase the productivity of the economy.

ECMI was established in Flensburg, at the heart of the Danish-German border region, in order to draw from the encouraging example of peaceful coexistence between minorities and majorities achieved here. ECMI’s aim is to promote interdisciplinary research on issues related to minorities and majorities in a European perspective and to contribute to the improvement of interethnic relations in those parts of Western and Eastern Europe where ethnopolitical tension and conflict prevail. ECMI Briefs are written either by the staff of ECMI or by outside authors commissioned by the Centre. As ECMI does not propagate opinions of its own, the views expressed in any of its publications are the sole responsibility of the author concerned.

These developments are related to the regeneration of port cities Poti and Batumi. Although many projects are already in progress and the region has the attention of both the national government and interna- tional investors, developments occur rather fragmented and without clear strategic regional plan. Stadslab European Urban Design Laboratory Stadslab European Urban Design Laboratory was asked to orga- nize a Master Class dedicated to the topic of stimulating a more coherent regional development for the coastal corridor connecting Batumi and Poti. Stadslab is an established think tank and inter- national Urban Design Laboratory. We are based in the Netherlands and have a track record of activi- ties in The Netherlands, Poland, Ukraine and Hungary. A team of thirteen architects and plan- ners applied for the Master Class program. The team was super- vised by internationally renowned planner Ruurd Gietema, partner at KCAP architects and planners (Rotterdam, Zurich, Shanghai) and Stadslab Staff. 2 / 8 PProposalsroposals DDetailedetailed analysisanalysis ofof thethe regionsregions opportunitiesopportunities andand threatsthreats resultedresulted inin a strategicstrategic mapmap forfor thethe wholewhole regionregion andand specispecifi c mmasteraster pplanslans fforor ssubub rregions.egions.
