Private companies across the state have joined local government to bolster innovation in Georgia.
Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan’s office announced the launch of the Partnership for Inclusive Innovation, a public-private partnership dedicated to making Georgia the tech capital of the Eastern seaboard.
Duncan said the key focus of the partnership is to ensure government supports a wide-ranging group of stakeholders in the state’s innovation ecosystem — including startups, small businesses, the private sector, health care and more.
“We define inclusive innovation as improving access and opportunities for all Georgians. Inclusive innovation breaks down existing silos and creates an opportunity for people across the innovation ecosystem to thrive together,” Duncan told Atlanta Inno. “In Georgia, we have a unique and diverse economic, geographic and demographic energy of our state – which provides a strong foundation for inclusive innovation to occur right here in our own backyard, as well as across the state.”
“We have an invested and committed business climate, a robust educational system with top institutions like Georgia State University and Georgia Institute of Technology, as well as strong partnerships with reputable entities like the Centers for Disease Control,” he added. “The Partnership for Inclusive Innovation seeks to tap into this entire network of innovators and leaders to forge a path for all Georgians.”
On the government side, Duncan said they will focus on growing talent in addition to attracting new talent to the state.
“The partnership will leverage relationships with local chambers of commerce who can identify the local innovation and technology players, programs and resources in their community,” he said. “We seek to provide support and a connected statewide network to bolster the work they have underway and inspire even more citizens across our state to get involved in this journey.”
