Ambassadori Island Batumi hosted its first international economic forum. The forum was held in cooperation with the international business network BNI and brought together representatives of the local business sector, Polish companies, and investors from the United Arab Emirates.

At the forum, Ambassadori Island was presented as a Georgian global initiative. Current investment developments were introduced by the Island’s investors, HOLM Developments from the United Arab Emirates and Origami Holding from Georgia. Representatives of Polish companies also delivered presentations. These companies operate across aviation, investment, marketing, brokerage, construction, and other sectors. Participants included F-Trust iWealth, PWS AluSystem, POiD, GEM Technology, Radmir, 4Results, Manufaktura Dubiński, Götz Group, MOSiR Radom, CI OD Nieruchomości, and Trustark Human Solutions.

According to the organizers, 10 international and local investors are currently implementing investments exceeding USD 1 billion at Ambassadori Island. In their assessment, international events of this kind will contribute to strengthening the transparency, reliability, and security of the investment environment on the Island.

Cooperation with BNI began in September 2026, when Ambassadori Island Batumi joined the BNI Poland network in Warsaw. BNI brings together more than 355,000 business leaders across over 70 countries, while its network in Poland includes approximately 2,500 companies. The cooperation aims to establish direct connections between international and local investors on Batumi’s artificial island, facilitate the creation of joint ventures, and support business activity.

Ambassadori Group and Ria Keburia Foundation presented a collectible real estate concept created specifically for Ambassadori Island Batumi. At the event, titled “When Architecture Itself Becomes Art,” the public was introduced for the first time to the Ambassadori Art Apartments concept, featuring two types of apartments created specifically for the Ambassadori Island Batumi project.

The Ambassadori Art Apartments concept was initiated by Ria Keburia, whose vision was to transform two residential apartment types into collectible works of art by bringing together architecture, design, and contemporary art.

The Ambassadori Art Apartments concept was developed by the architectural studio Arabidze Architects and research laboratory AD1369105. The collectible value of the apartments is based on specific design features: every element of the space including the sofa, table, armchairs, lighting, and mirrors – was created specifically for the project, eliminating the use of ready-made catalogue pieces. The interiors feature walnut wood, natural stone, treated metal, and mirror installations, while the structural wooden elements are handcrafted by local artisans.

Ambassadori Island Batumi is joining an initiative by Adjara TV launched as part of Pink October, aimed at raising awareness about the importance of breast cancer prevention and timely screening.

To support the initiative, the company will introduce an internal policy and an awareness campaign encouraging female employees to undergo regular screening and reminding them of the importance of timely check-ups.

Alongside the introduction of this practice, Ambassadori Island Batumi, in cooperation with its investor companies, will conduct annual awareness and reminder campaigns to help make regular screening and a culture of preventive health an integral part of the organizational environment.

Ambassadori Island Batumi supports initiatives that contribute to public well-being, responsible organizational culture, and greater awareness of important social issues.

The document was signed by Gocha Kamkia, CEO of Ambassadori Island Batumi, and Arkadiusz Sztuka, General Director of BNI Poland.

BNI is a global business network bringing together more than 355,000 members worldwide, including approximately 2,500 members in Poland. The organization provides business representatives from different countries with a platform for cooperation, professional networking, and the development of new business opportunities.

The partnership aims to establish Ambassadori Island Batumi as a new business destination for BNI Poland member companies and as a hub for international business and investment, contributing to the strengthening of long-term ties between Polish businesses and Georgia.

“Poland is one of the important markets within our international development strategy. We have been actively working here for more than a year, have established local partnerships, and have already implemented a number of joint initiatives. Joining the BNI Poland network marks a new stage in this cooperation and gives us the opportunity to develop even more direct, practical, and long-term partnerships with Polish companies. Our goal is for Ambassadori Island Batumi to become a new business destination for them in Georgia,” said Gocha Kamkia.

Ambassadori Island Batumi is the first artificial island project in the Black Sea, comprising two artificial peninsulas and one artificial island. The project integrates residential, hospitality, business, commercial, entertainment, marina, and aviation infrastructure and is being developed by Ambassadori Group in cooperation with leading international companies, including Arup, Yüksel Proje, and SHoP Architects.

On September 5, the official opening ceremony of “Ambassadori Group’s” new project, “Ambassadori Aviation Village”, was held. The project, with an investment value of USD 15 million, is being implemented with the support of a state program and co-financing from the Georgia Economic Development Corporation.

Located across 16 hectares, “Ambassadori Aviation Village” brings together an airfield, an international-standard flight academy, an aviation club, and a residential community of aviation villas. The residential concept combines private villas with individual aircraft hangars and direct access to the runway.

The opening ceremony was attended by the Prime Minister of Georgia, members of the Government, representatives of local and international business circles, project partners, and more than 100 international guests. Participants of the international private aviation expedition visiting Georgia also attended the event.

“Ambassadori Aviation Village” is a natural continuation of Ambassadori Group’s regional expansion and investment strategy, creating synergy both between Georgia’s regions and among “Ambassadori’s” projects. As a continuation of this vision, we are also introducing changes to the “Ambassadori Island Batumi” project. Similar to the aviation village at “Ambassadori Kachreti”, the island’s masterplan will include a runway and airfield infrastructure, creating the opportunity for direct air connectivity with the island in the future.

During the event, the CEO of “Ambassadori Island Batumi”, Gocha Kamkia presented “Ambassadori Group’s” overall development vision and future plans. He highlighted the synergy between the Group’s projects across different regions and noted that the development of the aviation direction creates new opportunities to connect these destinations with one another.

“One of the core ideas behind “Ambassadori Island Batumi” is to develop a global economic initiative in Georgia and create an environment that offers new opportunities to both local and international investors. Today, companies and investors from various countries are already becoming part of the project. The addition of private aviation is a natural continuation of this vision - aviation infrastructure will add another important component to the project’s tourism, residential, investment, and resort functions, while connecting “Ambassadori Island Batumi” more closely with different regions of Georgia as well as international destinations,” said Gocha Kamkia.
