Over the years, we have expanded our offerings to include Cloud Services, 24/7 Monitoring, and In-house Software Development, all designed to help our clients stay ahead in a rapidly changing digital landscape.
Some of our biggest challenges included adapting to rapid technological changes, managing escalating cyber threats, and meeting the complex needs of a growing customer base.

Working with international companies has been incredibly rewarding. It challenges us to continuously innovate, ensuring we can meet the high demands of large-scale IT projects. This experience also elevates the quality of service we provide to local clients, as we’re constantly refining our capabilities to match global best practices.
Q. How would you assess the potential of Georgia’s IT industry? Government representatives often say the country can become a regional tech player. What gives Georgia this potential, and where do we stand now?
A. Georgia has immense potential to become a regional tech powerhouse. Its strategic location between Europe and Asia, combined with a growing pool of skilled professionals and a burgeoning startup ecosystem, provides a unique advantage. The Government’s commitment to supporting the tech sector and fostering innovation is commendable, but further investments in digital infrastructure, cybersecurity, and talent development are needed to fully realize this potential.
We believe that Georgia can indeed become a regional tech leader, but the private sector, along with educational institutions, must play a strong role in fostering digital transformation and enhancing cybersecurity awareness across industries.
Q. How would you assess the qualifications and quantity of the workforce in this industry? You also cooperate with a university, offering internships and employment to graduates.
A. While the IT workforce in Georgia is growing rapidly, there’s still a skills gap that needs to be addressed. The demand for highly qualified professionals is high, and universities alone cannot meet the needs of the industry.
To bridge this gap, LiveSupport partners with leading universities like SEU, BTU, and the European University to offer internships and employment opportunities to students. We aim to equip future IT professionals with real-world experience, helping them seamlessly transition into the workforce. This collaboration not only supports the development of future talent but also ensures our industry stays ahead of the curve.
