The development of the business incubator is integrated into the economic framework and development of Georgia. The last few years of Georgian economy development has been indicating a positive trend under the new leadership of the country. In the following, BII Georgia is neither intending to position itself within the spectrum of political discussion on macro-economic development, nor is it claiming to provide a comprehensive overview on the Georgian economic situation.
