Purpose of the article: The aim of the following article is the attempt to define the directions of the changes of foreign direct investments in the context of the accession of Poland to EU as well as Georgia.
Methodology/methods: The article deals with foreign direct investments (FDI) as the strategic potential of growth of international competitiveness.

The companies with foreign capital shares allocate partially economized income into investments which increase their production and service potential. The growth of the level of foreign investments forces, in turn, the improvement of the national infrastructure, however the investors themselves contribute to the rise of its level as well.
