Caspian Energy Club has presented the preliminary results of its annual global poll, conducted with over 3,700 entrepreneurs and business executives from 50 countries.  

The main objective of the poll is to assess the investment potential of over 200 regions and districts across eight countries along the Middle Corridor, identify the most promising investment opportunities, and provide an objective view of international business prospects in these areas.

For the past 20 years, the results of the annual poll have been provided to potential investors to guide their investment decisions. Starting this year, chief executives of regions and districts receiving the highest number of votes will be awarded the international Caspian Business Award.

Based on the poll results, the Autonomous Republic of Adjara has been recognized as one of the regions with the highest investment potential. Adjara demonstrated its leadership in this area by taking first place in the ‘Best Region for Tourism Investment’ category. Additionally, Adjara ranked among the top three in the ‘Best Region for Green Energy Investment’ category.
The award’s symbol is a sailing ship, representing progress and the ability to overcome challenges through a cohesive team—the foundation of success. It embodies both progress and the strength of working together.

By the end of this year, the international Caspian Business Award will also be presented to the chief executives of regions in Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Türkiye, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan.
