Shosukabu.com to Host Online Session Series 'Talking About Georgia' Based on Mid-to-Long-Term Investment Strategy

Shosukabu.com Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Nerima-ku, Tokyo; Representative Chairman: Yutaka Yamanaka; hereinafter “the Company”), which operates a stock liquidity platform for unlisted companies, is launching a series of online sessions to explain the real economic and industrial structure of Georgia—a country gaining global attention as a business and relocation destination.

As the second installment, we are pleased to announce the webinar titled 'Georgia's IT and Startup Environment' to be held on Friday, July 10, 2026.

The Company consistently advocates for 'mid-to-long-term investment objectives' aimed at sustainable value creation rooted in local communities, rather than speculative investments focused on short-term trading profits. In this session, we will fully disclose our vision for implementing cutting-edge technologies and establishing educational initiatives for advanced talent development in Georgia—a hidden IT powerhouse in Eastern Europe experiencing rapid growth due to its extraordinary tax incentives.

1. Background of the Session: Why Georgia's 'IT and Startups' Now?

The Georgian government is actively promoting the IT industry as a national policy. By certifying qualifying IT companies as 'International Companies,' it offers preferential tax treatment: reducing corporate tax from the standard 15% to 5%, and personal income tax from 20% to 5%. As Yutaka Yamanaka stated in his article 'Why I Cut Losses on Dubai and Go All-In on Georgia: Yutaka Yamanaka’s Next-Generation Wealth Equation,' Georgia’s greatest appeal lies in being a 'nation favorable to reinvesting enterprises.'

Yutaka Yamanaka, the Company’s representative, has focused on Georgia’s overwhelming cost competitiveness and its fertile ground attracting top engineers from Europe, the U.S., and the former Soviet region. Rather than short-term speculation, he is advancing long-term capital investment in the country, promoting the social implementation of cutting-edge technologies such as 'AI agents,' as well as planning a 'private university' to cultivate next-generation knowledge.

This session will provide an insider’s perspective from a globally recognized investor and entrepreneur, explaining the full scope of Georgia’s IT ecosystem and future growth strategy.

2. Key Points of the Session

The session will unveil Yutaka Yamanaka’s 'Grand Design for IT and Education in Georgia,' with detailed explanations on the following four innovative topics:

(1) Competitive Advantage as a 'Global IT Hub' Due to 5% Tax Rate

An on-the-ground explanation of Georgia’s tax incentives, including the 'International Company' regime, and the unparalleled speed with which foreign startups can launch businesses.

(2) A Platform for Social Implementation of Cutting-Edge Technologies, Including 'AI Agents'

Beyond being a mere offshore development base, Georgia serves as a 'real-world testing ground' where advanced AI agents and automation systems can be rapidly integrated into actual industries such as agriculture, healthcare, and finance. This session will introduce Georgia’s appeal and specific implementation plans.

(3) Establishment of a Private University in Georgia and Advanced IT Talent Development Plan

The first public disclosure of the objectives and progress of a new private university project aiming to combine education with capital, featuring a cutting-edge curriculum in AI, data science, corporate finance, and more.

(4) Tbilisi: A Haven for 'Digital Nomads' and Startups Reducing Geopolitical Risk

An analysis of Tbilisi’s real ecosystem, which attracts top tech talent worldwide through abundant co-working spaces and a policy allowing visa-free stay and work for up to one year.
