Georgia Tech has a long and productive history of working closely with many U.S. Department of Energy National Labs. Together, we have tackled research of mutual interest, trained students for careers in energy-related disciplines, and developed technology that has been disseminated for many uses. The national labs have also supported Georgia Tech through their user facilities, training, postdoctoral, and student internship programs, and many Georgia Tech alumni are employed long-term at national labs.

Georgia has emerged as a hub for technology and startup innovation, and Georgia Tech is proud to be a crucial part of this evolution. Tech Square, located in the heart of Midtown Atlanta, is home to the highest density of startups, corporate innovators, and academic researchers in the southeastern United States. It’s a community where entrepreneurs can connect with each other and the Georgia Tech ecosystem to tap into world-class research.
