There are over 100 Consulates and Bi-National Chambers, and more than 1600 international companies employing tens of thousands of Georgians. This creates a myriad of opportunities to import, export and or expand abroad. In addition, foreign direct investment exceeded $ 2.8 billion in 2012. And in 2013, Hartsfield Jackson International airport welcomed 9.1 million international passengers.
