Georgia’s gateway to the global stage is back — bigger, bolder, and more ambitious than ever. The Georgian Startup Summit is your entry into the Startup World Cup, the planet’s largest startup competition, culminating in a $1 million investment prize in Silicon Valley, powered by Pegasus Tech Ventures — the backers of SpaceX, 23andMe, and more.
Join us this June 19–20 at Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University (TSU) — the first university in the South Caucasus and a symbol of Georgian resilience, learning, and science since 1918. Against this historic backdrop, we gather the brightest founders, global VCs, emerging entrepreneurs, and ecosystem leaders to celebrate and shape what’s next.
