Joining its ranks as the 34th local-language edition National Geographic Georgia is sponsored by the telecommunications company Silknet and led by Editor-in-Chief Levan Butkhuzi.
A magazine launch event was held at the National Museum of Georgia on the 22nd of September this year. The launch was attended by Mr. Terry Adamson, Executive Vice President of the National Geographic Society, members of the Washington editorial team and National Geographic photographers.

Five thousand copies of the very first Georgian edition went into circulation this fall following the launch event. The October issue can now be found at every newsstand in the capital of Georgia, as well as in the regions.
