“Georgia was entirely right to anticipate that its new innovation hub would receive the stellar reception it is already enjoying,” California Lieutenant Governor Eleni Kounalakis has stated following the launch of the Georgian Innovation Hub in San Francisco.

“I am delighted to be here. I know that today’s opening ceremony is being attended by many leaders from California’s tech sector, as well as members of the local Georgian diaspora, including Golden State Warriors legend Zaza Pachulia. All of this reaffirms the immense value and durability of our partnership.

Georgia correctly foresaw that this innovation hub would generate the exact kind of momentum we are seeing today. Innovators from both sides are gathering here to trade ideas and expertise, allowing them to bring new technologies back to Georgia while simultaneously enabling more entrepreneurs to come here to California through this hub,” the Lieutenant Governor stated.
