Georgia's information technology sector posted a sharp rise in export-linked revenue in the opening months of 2026, according to official figures.
Q1 revenue figures
Revenue from external IT operations reached $441.3 million in the first quarter of 2026 — an increase of 65%, or about $175 million, compared with the same period a year earlier.
The broader information and communication sector grew 36% over the same timeframe, underscoring how strongly technology-related activity is outpacing the wider industry.
Record momentum
The surge builds on a strong 2025, when the sector recorded total revenue of $1.15 billion — a record for the industry.
Officials and industry observers have linked much of the recent expansion to foreign-registered companies operating in or through Georgia, a model that has become a significant driver of the country's tech economy.
What it means
The first-quarter numbers suggest the IT sector remains one of Georgia's fastest-growing export earners, with year-on-year gains well above many other parts of the economy.
Further quarterly data will show whether the pace set in early 2026 can be sustained through the rest of the year.
