Atlanta has become a bustling tech hub, with several corporate innovation centers, tech incubators and accelerators, and hundreds of startups. The metro area also has some of the best computer science and information technology programs in the country, including at Emory University, Georgia Institute of Technology, Georgia State University, Spelman College, Morehouse College, and others. Since we opened our first office here more than 20 years ago, we’ve invested in, supported and built connections with the local community — all to support Atlanta’s continued growth.
Today we’re announcing new support initiatives in Atlanta focused on equitable tech education, including a new technology annex at Morehouse College and funding for local initiatives.
