A new page has been added to the 30-year history of the FIABCI Prix d’Excellence international awards. On 28 October, the Pullman Axis Towers Hotel in Tbilisi hosted the first national awards ceremony for real estate projects – the FIABCI-Georgia Prix d’Excellence Awards 2022. The “real estate Oscars” event took place with the support of Bank of Georgia, Galt&Taggart and Digital Area.

The national winners were selected by a jury panel composed of local members and leading industry experts from different countries. The winners will take part at the FIABCI World Prix d’Excellence Awards.
The first awards ceremony of its kind in the Caucasus region was opened on 28 October with the international conference “Building Green, Smart and Liveable Cities,” which was attended by industry experts from United States, Europe, Asia and UAE. The event was held under the patronage of the Polish Investment and Trade Agency, with the support of the Embassy of Poland.
