IBCCS TAX Georgia at DataFest Tbilisi 2025: Insights, Innovation, and Three Days with the Regional Tech Community

DataFest Tbilisi 2025 once again proved why it stands among the region’s leading events dedicated to data, AI, and digital innovation. As an official partner, IBCCS TAX Georgia spent three days engaging with startup founders, engineers, analysts, and business leaders - all contributing to the fast-growing tech ecosystem in Georgia.

For our team, the event was an opportunity to exchange ideas, follow emerging trends, and understand the needs of companies that increasingly view Georgia as a strategic base for scaling technology-driven operations.

DataFest Tbilisi 2025: Where AI, Data, and Creativity Converge

This year’s agenda blended technical depth with creative thinking. Attendees explored a wide range of topics, including:

• Advancements in AI and machine learning 

• Responsible and ethical use of data

• Digital transformation for both the private and public sectors

Panels, workshops, and hands-on sessions created an environment that encouraged experimentation and honest discussions. DataFest once again demonstrated how closely technology, creativity, and business now intersect.

Our Highlight: Ketevan Aghoshashvili on the Future of AI in Consulting

A key moment for us was the main-stage presentation by our Executive Director, Ketevan Aghoshashvili.

Talk: “The evolution of AI in consulting: Skills, collaboration, and the future of human-AI teams.”

Ketevan examined how AI is reshaping consulting workflows and why the future of the industry will rely on hybrid roles combining human judgment with machine-driven insights. She discussed:

• The increasing importance of data fluency

• How AI can elevate analytical precision

• Skills professionals will need for the coming decade

Her session generated thoughtful discussions, many of which continued later at our booth with visitors interested in business opportunities in Georgia.

Engaging With Founders, Innovators, and the AI Community

Throughout the event, our booth became a space for meaningful conversations. We met with AI developers, early-stage startups, established international teams, and entrepreneurs exploring expansion into Georgia.

Topics that came up most often included:

• Registering and structuring tech companies in Georgia

• Tax optimization options for digital and AI-based businesses

• Regulatory considerations for cross-border service providers

• The practical realities of operating from Georgia’s growing tech hub

These conversations gave us valuable insights into what today’s innovators expect from a business-friendly jurisdiction.
