ICTA Q1 2026 Meeting: Strategy, Sector Leadership, and the Road Ahead
February 19, 2026
Georgia’s technology sector is entering a decisive phase — and ICTA’s first quarterly meeting of 2026 reflected exactly that urgency.
On February 19, member companies, institutional partners, and sector leaders gathered at Hive Moedani for an evening built around one central question: where is Georgia’s technology ecosystem headed, and what will it take to get there?
Setting the Stage
The evening opened with a panel discussion on Georgia’s positioning as a regional technology hub — covering policy, investment, and innovation. The conversation brought together voices from parliament, government agencies, and the private sector, underscoring a growing consensus: ICT is no longer a peripheral sector. It is becoming central to Georgia’s economic competitiveness, and the institutions shaping that environment are increasingly aligned on its importance.
Market Intelligence and Talent Development
Galt & Taggart’s Senior Research Analyst presented a data-driven outlook on IT sector trends, offering members a grounded view of where the market is heading and what conditions are defining Georgia’s competitive position regionally. This was followed by the presentation of the Georgian Tech Olympiads Hub — a BTU-led initiative that speaks directly to one of the sector’s most persistent challenges: building a pipeline of technical talent that meets industry demand.
2025 in Review, 2026 in Focus
ICTA Chairman Tornike Sulaberidze closed the formal program with an honest review of 2025 — what was achieved, what the association learned, and what comes next. The 2026 priorities are clear: deepen institutional engagement, grow the membership base, and position ICTA as a structured driver of ecosystem development rather than a coordination platform alone.
Looking Ahead
What the Q1 meeting made evident is that the groundwork is in place. The conversations happening inside ICTA — between companies, institutions, and policymakers — are the kind that translate into regulatory progress, talent investment, and long-term sector growth. 2026 is the year those conversations become measurable outcomes.
