History

Due to popular desire of Dr. Guram Tavartkiladze, Georgian government, general public and foreign governments of western countries (primarily Germany and the United States ) to establish a business school in Georgia, Tbilisi State Institute of Economic Relations was founded on March 19, 1992 according to the decree of the Ministry of Education of Georgia. Dr. Guram Tavartkiladze was appointed as its Rector and President. Main agenda of the institution was to bring up highly qualified business managers to help Georgia, the newly independent state of the former Soviet Union, to adopt to capitalism and ease transition from command economy to market economy.

It is now known as Guram Tavartkiladze Tbilisi Teaching University (GTTU).
