Event Description:
The Innovation in Action Speaker Series is a collaboration between the Georgia Center of Innovation, Sandy Springs Economic Development Agency, and Sandy Springs Innovation Center to bring together industry leaders to share their stories and programs to bring innovation into their business, whether startup entrepreneurs or Fortune 500 corporations.
The first program for the luncheon series will feature a panel of innovation leaders discussing “Innovation Where We Live”. While Tech Square is a shining example of an innovation community, not every innovator can, nor should, live in midtown Atlanta – innovation should exist where we live. Innovation is tied inexorably to the challenges people face in their daily lives, with some being universal and others very local in nature. Georgia, in particular, excels at bringing innovation to businesses wherever they may be through a network of resources available to them through chambers of commerce, innovation nodes, and industry trade associations which complement resources at the state level.
Panelists:
Mr. R. Steven Justice
Executive Director, Georgia Centers of Innovation
Mr. John Avery
Director, Advanced Technology Development Center
Mr. Michael Robertson
Executive Director, Sandy Springs Innovation Center
Moderated by Mr. David Nuckolls
Marketing & Operations Manager, Georgia Centers of Innovation
