On October 24th, 2017 the twelfth meeting of Business Café took place in Holiday Inn hotel. The meeting was hosted by Mr. Alex Chikovani – the founder of Strategic Branding Agency “LIVE” with the topic “Trade history of Georgian wine – from its inception up today.”

Business Café is a place where you can share your knowledge with experienced people and hear their opinion about specific subjects. Business Café provides an interactive format of conversations about business where we exchange our views. In 21st century business is based on a brand. Building and managing a brand is a culture of conducting business. It is impossible to have a sustainable business without this. Branding is a strategy and strategy is branding, the art of managing your business with a right mindset,” commented Alex Chikovani.
