Vano Benidze

Abstract: This article evaluates the trajectory of Georgia?s industrial policy between 2014 and 2025, examining its influence on structural transformation, innovation capacity, and competitiveness. Drawing from the ?Georgia 2020? Strategy and key programs such as Produce in Georgia, the Partnership Fund, and the Innovation and Technology Agency, the study employs a mixed-methods approach using national and international benchmarks. The analysis reveals that, while institutional frameworks have evolved, Georgia continues to face challenges including a narrow industrial base, limited technological upgrading, and weak human capital alignment. The study concludes with policy recommendations emphasizing innovation-led growth, regional diversification, and improved institutional coordination to support long-term industrial transformation.
