The GT APEX Accelerator hosted a series of regional events in Albany, Athens, Augusta, Carrollton, Savannah, and Warner Robins, Georgia, in February and March 2025. The series represents GT APEX Accelerator’s strategic commitment to connecting with Georgia-based businesses in the communities they serve and ensuring greater access to the resources, relationships, and insights needed to succeed in government contracting.
GT APEX Accelerator is housed in Georgia Tech’s Enterprise Innovation Institute (EI2), the economic development unit of Georgia Tech. Other EI2 programs participating in the regional events include Georgia Artificial Intelligence in Manufacturing (Georgia AIM), Georgia Manufacturing Extension Partnership, and Safety, Health, and Environmental Services.
