We are delighted that the Georgia MedTech Innovation Summit (GMIS) 2026 will once again take place at the magnificent The Biltmore Tbilisi Hotel.
The Biltmore Tbilisi is one of only a handful of luxury hotels worldwide bearing the iconic Biltmore name, making it a truly distinctive venue for an international gathering of medtech innovators.
Far more than a luxury hotel, it is housed within the historic IMELI Building – one of Georgia’s most significant architectural landmarks.
Designed by the renowned architect Alexey Shchusev and completed in 1938, the building originally served as the Georgian branch of the Institute of Marx, Engels and Lenin (IMELI), from which it takes its name. It is widely regarded as one of the finest examples of monumental architecture of its era and has been designated a protected cultural heritage monument.
Following Georgia’s restoration of independence, the IMELI Building entered a new chapter in the nation’s history. It served as the Parliament of Georgia from 1992 to 1995, and it was within these walls that Georgia’s first post-Soviet Constitution was adopted on 24 August 1995 – a milestone in the country’s democratic development.
Following an extensive restoration, the building was transformed into The Biltmore Tbilisi Hotel, combining its remarkable architectural heritage with world-class hospitality.
We are proud that GMIS 2026 will bring together leading physicians, entrepreneurs, investors, startup founders, and industry executives in a venue that reflects both Georgia’s rich history and its growing role as a hub for medical innovation.
We look forward to welcoming you to Tbilisi on 11–13 September 2026.
