On October 8, the first TUMO Center for Creative Technologies in Georgia opened in Kutaisi. It is located on the territory of the city's technological hub in the former Parliament building of Georgia. According to the Ministry of Economy and Sustainable Development of the country, about 1550 teenagers aged 12 to 18 have registered for educational programs, with 600 of them already starting classes. Education at the center is free.
The program covers programming, robotics, game development, animation, graphic design, 3D modeling, filmmaking, and music. Teenagers will also be able to study the basics of generative artificial intelligence. The learning format is focused on developing digital and creative skills that are in demand in modern technological and creative industries.

The project was implemented with the support of the Ministry of Economy of Georgia, the Georgia's Innovation and Technology Agency (GITA), and Bank of Georgia. The opening ceremony was attended by TUMO founder Marie Lou Papazian, the center's development director Bekor Papazian, representatives of the Georgian authorities, and the Ambassador of Armenia to Georgia Ashot Smbatyan. The opening of the branch expands the presence of the educational initiative created in Armenia beyond the country's borders.
