At Prime Minister Garibashvili’s side was Vice Prime Minister Levan Davitashvili. The meeting took place in Davos, Switzerland, host of the 2022 World Economic Forum.

According to local reports, the Georgia Prime Minister also made an offer to the Ripple CEO during the meeting.

“The Prime Minister offered the CEO of Ripple to open a corporate service center in Georgia and noted that Georgia has a favorable investment environment and the country has a stable location.”
