Our Story

The Innovation and Development Foundation (IDF) was born from real reform. Over the past decade, we’ve been behind some of the most ambitious public sector transformations — designing smart systems, simplifying bureaucracy, and helping governments become faster, leaner, and more transparent.

Our core strength lies in delivering reforms with measurable impact. We’ve managed multi-million dollar projects, built platforms for change, and shaped models still in use acrosscountries

What sets us apart today is our knowledge, experience and network.

Now, we’ve expanded our strength as a global consultancy connecting governments, businesses, and international donors — helping them navigate new markets, accelerate transformation, and unlock what once seemed out of reach.

Giorgi Vashadze

Founder of the Innovation and Development Foundation (IDF)

Harvard Business School Alumnus, Giorgi Vashadze built his career on one belief: even the most complex systems can be made simple — if you have the right strategy, the right tools, and the right people

His journey began not in a boardroom, but deep inside the machinery of government, as a reformer who transformed how millions access public services. From launching the region’s first biometric ID system and digital signature platform to designing the award-winning Public Service Halls, his work redefined what efficiency in governance looks like.

Giorgi never saw innovation as a national mission — he saw it as a global one. Over the years, he’s become a trusted advisor to governments, businesses, and international donors working in the world’s most complex markets — from Ukraine and Central Asia to the Middle East and beyond.

Today, as the founder of IDF, Giorgi leads a global network of strategists, policy experts, and reformers who know how to cut through bureaucracy, unlock opportunity, and make transformation real.

“Complexity is never the problem. The problem is finding people who know how to simplify it. That’s what we do.”
