Digital Transformation in Georgia's Public Sector
Georgia has taken a significant step towards modernizing its public sector by embracing advanced digital systems. The nation's Ministry of Justice has entered into a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Hedera, a prominent blockchain project. This collaboration is set to introduce more secure and transparent digital services to the country.
The Minister of Justice, Paata Salia, engaged in discussions with Hedera representatives to outline potential areas of cooperation. Their talks centered on the development of tools designed to improve the management of public records and bolster their resistance to tampering.

Moving Public Data to the Blockchain
A primary objective of this partnership is to migrate data from Georgia's National Agency of Public Registry onto the Hedera network. Government officials anticipate that this move will enhance the security of property records, minimize errors, and increase public accessibility to these records.
Hedera's technology offers the capability to record information immutably, fostering greater public confidence in the handling of property rights. Additionally, it is expected to streamline record-keeping processes for government employees, making them faster and more secure.
Exploring Real Estate Tokenization
During their discussions, Hedera's representatives also gained insight into Georgia's existing "Smart Contract" service, which is currently employed by the Public Registry. This service automates various legal procedures related to property transactions.

Both parties explored potential enhancements to this service, including the concept of real estate tokenization. This would involve converting property rights into digital tokens, thereby facilitating easier storage and transfer. Tokenization holds the potential to expedite transactions, clarify ownership records, and improve citizen access to property information.
Future Collaboration and Next Steps
To advance this initiative, Georgia plans to establish joint working groups comprised of experts from the Ministry of Justice, the Public Registry, and Hedera. These groups will focus on assessing the integration of Hedera's technology into existing public systems and preparing for its practical implementation.
This agreement represents a significant development for both Hedera and Georgia. Should this project prove successful, it could serve as a blueprint for other nations looking to leverage blockchain technology to enhance the trustworthiness and security of their public records.
