Infrastructure & Real Estate Development

Real estate is more than buildings; it is a growth engine for emerging and frontier markets. At GIF 2025, we spotlight how modern mixed-use districts, tourism corridors, logistics hubs, and smart-city upgrades are reshaping national economies—starting with Georgia and extending across the Caucasus, the Gulf, and Central Asia.

‍

From Resilience to Regeneration

The sector has moved beyond post-pandemic recovery. Today the focus is on regenerative assets that:

• recycle materials and cut embodied carbon
• balance commercial gain with social impact (affordable housing, green public spaces)
• harness prop-tech for real-time energy, security, and mobility management

‍

Key Thematic Areas

• Mixed-use urban districts and transit-oriented development
• Tourism, hospitality, and cultural infrastructure
• Grade-A logistics, data centers, and industrial parks
• Sustainable affordable-housing programs
• Smart-city platforms, IoT building management, and AI-driven maintenance
• Green construction methods and circular-economy materials
• Public-private partnership (PPP) financing models for large-scale projects

‍
