The Sandy Springs Innovation Center has announced a new partnership with the state of Georgia’s technology incubator that will bring new programming.
A shared workspace that serves as a start-up incubator, the Innovation Center was established by the Sandy Springs Perimeter Chamber of Commerce and opened its doors in 2017. In March, the center announced a new partnership with The Advanced Technology Development Center, the state of Georgia’s technology incubator.
The new partnership, the seventh for ATDC, is part of the organization’s goal to work with technology startups across Georgia and will provide the Innovation Center with services to support growing companies in Sandy Springs and North Perimeter, the press release said. The ATDC was established in 1980 by the Georgia General Assembly which funds it each year.
The Innovation Center, located at 1000 Abernathy Road in the Northpark office complex, is a nonprofit spun out of the Sandy Springs Perimeter Chamber of Commerce with major funding from the Sandy Springs Development Authority and Comcast. In 2018, it went under a major reconfiguration with new furniture and new employees.
The ATDC’s programming at the Innovation Center is slated to kick off in March with office hours. Programming, including consultation with an ATDC “entrepreneur-in-residence,” technology roundtables, and statewide webinars, will start in the following months, the release said.
