When government, private capital, and institutions align, national development accelerates. Earlier today at the Tbilisi Financial Summit Mariam Kvrivishvili, Georgia’s Minister of Economy and Sustainable Development, underscored the power of these partnerships - and how innovation and technology are driving the country’s next phase of growth. Through our partnership with Georgia's Innovation and Technology Agency (GITA) and Bank of Georgia, 500 Eurasia has already accelerated and invested in 56 tech startups, with programs running twice a year in Tbilisi. Sustainable, scalable innovation relies on investment into the ecosystem, not just the enterprise — entrepreneurs, policymakers, and financiers working together. Georgia’s prioritization of building the infrastructure needed for innovation, and its commitment to co-creating initiatives that serve national development goals, show what’s possible when public and private partners move in step. We're excited to continue to see how this ecosystem alignment turns ambition into lasting impact.

Pitching on stage is stressful but a lot of fun. Its an energetic way to test your #startup. Here is why all founders should do it. Had a pleasure to participate in Startup Lithuania fair pitchbattle with Callsy AI. Explaining what you do and how you do it in 3 mins on stage, for ppl who have 0 context is actually quite hard. You have to simplify everything and build up a great story. Once you get it right, you are on your way to the moon 🚀 But to do that, you need to practise…a lot. On stage. 🔥 Public speaking is a such critical skill to develope, all founders need to nurture it. Thanks to FIRSTPICK & 500 Global | 500 Eurasia for believing in us ✌️

Startup Fair 2025🇱🇹 where founders think global and build fearlessly. The 500 Eurasia team touched down in Vilnius to celebrate the Baltic startup spirit — bold, ambitious, and quietly confident. 💪🏻 Oksana Vodonos joined the #SoloFounder panel “One Person, Billion-Dollar Ambition”, together with Gabriele Kriaucionyte (Neurali), Magnus Hambleton (byFounders), and Romanas Zontovičius (Innovation Agency Lithuania | Global) — exploring how founders build and scale in the new era shaped by AI. At 500 Global, we see it every day: technology may accelerate creation, but founders are still the ones who give products purpose — and bring them to life. Until next time, Vilnius💫 500 Global Startup Lithuania
