"The Association of Georgian Employers has been cooperating with the EBRD for many years, with the aim that the member companies are actively involved in the projects implemented by them. The initiative announced at the meeting will allow our member small and medium-sized enterprises involved in international trade to receive trade financing and business consulting.
