USAID’s Economic Prosperity Initiative (EPI) started<br />
in 2010 with the goal to improve Georgia’s competitiveness.<br />
The four-year project serves as a catalyst to spur<br />
investments, increased employment, productivity and<br />
access to local finance in agriculture and high-export<br />
manufacturing and service sectors, such as information<br />
and communication technologies (ICT), transport & logistics,<br />
tourism, apparel and packaging. The project also<br />
strives to enhance Georgia’s economic governance to further<br />
improve the business enabling environment.<br />
Intellectual property drives innovation and entrepreneurship,<br />
contributing to any country’s economic growth.<br />
And robust intellectual property rights (IPR) play an im-<br />
portant role across all sectors of Georgia’s economy. Intellectual<br />
property is often a key competitive advantage<br />
for a business; while strong IPR can secure this competitive<br />
advantage, support overall business development,<br />
and attract increased investments. That is why EPI has<br />
been working in a number of different areas to encourage<br />
intellectual property and the strengthening of IPR.<br />
EPI, together with Microsoft and the Ministry of Education<br />
and Science of Georgia encouraged innovation and<br />
creativity in the ICT sector by bringing Microsoft’s annual<br />
Imagine Cup to Georgia for the first time. The student<br />
technology competition encourages young innovators to<br />
use their imagination and passion to develop technology-based<br />
solutions that address the Imagine Cup 2012<br />
theme: Imagine a world where technology helps solve<br />
