The 1990s marked the beginning of many giant technology companies and modern economic principles. These companies were able to use new technologies and innovative business models to compete with traditional industries and create new markets.

During the event, we will review what processes have been taking place in the ecosystem from the 1990s to the present, using the example of the Georgian and American environment. Speakers at the meeting will talk about the challenges of the startup environment in 1990-2022 and share their experience.
