Nestled at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, it is a place where thousands of years of history meet breathtaking landscapes, renowned hospitality, and a rapidly growing innovation ecosystem.

From the cobbled streets of Old Tbilisi and UNESCO World Heritage sites to the dramatic peaks of the Caucasus Mountains and world-famous wine regions, Georgia offers visitors an experience unlike anywhere else.

But beyond its beauty, Georgia is becoming an increasingly important destination for healthcare innovation and medical technology. Its strong clinical research capabilities, internationally recognised physicians, efficient regulatory environment, and growing MedTech community make it an ideal place for global collaboration.

This is one of the many reasons why we are proud to host the Georgia MedTech Innovation Summit (GMIS) 2026 in Tbilisi.

Over three inspiring days, leading physicians, entrepreneurs, investors, startup founders, researchers, and industry leaders from around the world will come together—not only to discuss the future of medical technology but also to experience the culture, history, and hospitality that make Georgia so special.

Whether it’s your first visit or your tenth, we hope you’ll take the opportunity to explore beyond the conference venue, discover the country’s rich heritage, enjoy its exceptional cuisine, and experience the warmth for which Georgians are known worldwide.

Join us on 11–13 September 2026 and discover why Georgia is becoming one of the most exciting places where innovation, collaboration, and tradition come together.

We look forward to welcoming you to Tbilisi.

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.

We’re delighted to announce that Château Mukhrani, one of Georgia’s most iconic wine estates, will host our Social Day on October 12 — a highlight of the Georgian MedTech Innovation Summit 2025.

The evening will include:

• A welcome reception in the château gardens
• A tour of The Palace and guided wine degustation in the historic royal cellars
• A gala dinner in The Orangery — a stunning, glass-walled pavilion inspired by 19th-century orangeries and spanning 2,400 m²
• And a lively post-dinner party in a setting made for connection

 A Royal Legacy, Restored for the Future

Built in the 19th century, the château was once the residence of Prince Ivane Bagration of Mukhrani, a prominent statesman and a pioneer of modern Georgian winemaking. Influenced by his viticultural studies in Bordeaux, he brought French techniques to Georgian soil — laying the foundation for what would become Château Mukhrani.

The estate later fell into disrepair but was meticulously restored by a group of investors led by Dr. Frederik Paulsen Jr., billionaire philanthropist and Chairman of Ferring Pharmaceuticals. His father, Dr. Frederik Paulsen Sr., founded Ferring in 1950, establishing a legacy of innovation and family values — reflected in this revival.

Today, the estate is under the stewardship of Patrick Honnef, a German-trained winemaker who blends traditional Georgian methods — like qvevri fermentation — with modern viticulture to craft a portfolio of expressive, award-winning wines.

 Why You Shouldn’t Miss It

Recognized as the birthplace of wine, Georgia boasts over 8,000 years of winemaking heritage. This Social Day invites medtech professionals to step into that legacy and enjoy meaningful networking with innovators, investors, KOLs, and experts in pre-clinical and clinical device development — all in a setting that seamlessly combines history, elegance, and innovation.
