Georgian Technical University's century-old history began in 1922. To reconstruct the country and Georgian science, it was vital to train highly qualified national workers. This was the notion put forth by the renowned Ivane Javakhishvili, rector of Tbilisi State University, founded in 1918, when he established the university's polytechnic faculty.

In 1922, a team was formed with the capacity to create and even expand Georgia's largest engineering and technical school, creating a space that opened up completely new possibilities. They were given the task of discovering new or improving existing ones, building roads, bridges, and one-of-a-kind buildings, establishing laboratories, and contributing to the world's resolution of paradoxes.

Despite several challenges, the work of the then-engineering team advanced the country's development, improved people's lives, and introduced technological advancements. This is how the century's history was formed, and it played an important role in shaping the world in which we currently live. Throughout Georgian Technical University's centuries-long history, alumni have played an important part in the country's economic, social, and cultural growth. They have carried out several enthusiastic and ambitious projects for the country's development, including the creation of one of the most audacious ideas in Georgian engineering, "Engurhesi," and the launch into space of the first Georgian space object, "Reflector."

Partners of Georgian Technical University include the European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN), Japan High Energy Accelerator Research Organisation (KEK), America's Particle Physics and Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab), Jülich Research Centre, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, California, Yale, Bern, Glasgow, and other universities.

Georgian Technical University has 15 scientific research institutes, 1 research center, and 13 faculties equipped with modern technologies and laboratories, which implement 172 educational programmes at all three levels of university education. Graduates have an employment rate of more than 80%, with 75% working in their area of expertise.
