Garage48 Georgia 2015 was an event full of good emotions and realization how many motivated people work in Georgia building and supporting the local startup ecosystem. We ran a panel where 6 different co-working and innovation spaces in Tbilisi were introduced by the people who run them. They provided us with amazing mentors to work with the teams and also with prizes to support the teams with work space and useful contacts. We are humbled here at Garage48 to be part of this local community now and want to contribute with our international know-how, bringing over mentors and helping to build this network further. We cannot wait to be back here for next Garage48 events!
We want to thank all our sponsors and supporters, especially the Estonian Development Fund for making this event possible and the Georgia’s Innovation and Technology Agency for all the local support.
The excitement was high at the final event - the winners were announced and all the hard work payed off with great prizes and an opportunity for ALL THE TEAMS to use GITA’s new technopark space for 1 year!
So without further ado, here are the winners of Garage48 hackathon Georgia 2015:
