## Abstract

Thepurpose of the presented study is to analyze the strategic advantages of Georgia’s geographical location and the transport and logistics potential of the country, which can become one of the main drivers of the country’s economic growth. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the fact that it considers Georgia as one of the important links between Europe and Asia in the context of the modern Silk Road, which is based on both geographical factors and the political and economic environment. The emphasis is on the prospects for the country’s development as an intermodal logistics hub and on the opportunities that may become tangible through the implementation of the right infrastructural, educational and strategic policies. In addition, the work draws attention to the contradictions associated with monopoly structures, technological backwardness and institutional failures. The study revealed that Georgia’s geographical location, access to Black Sea ports, and stable relations with neighboring countries create a solid foundation for the country to use its transit potential and develop into a regional logistics hub. To do this, it is necessary to systematically upgrade transport infrastructure, attract investments, strengthen logistics education, and introduce technological systems. Effective logistics will not only promote economic growth and competitiveness but also significantly reduce trade costs and increase the country’s investment attractiveness. As a result of strategically planned reforms, Georgia can occupy a central place in the Eurasian trade space, which will significantly strengthen its economic and political position in the region in the long term.
