Georgia celebrated 100 Years of Aviation in 2007. It was a proud milestone that reflects our history, success and commitment to the industry.
The Centers of Innovation is the central source for accelerating business growth in Georgia through Innovation and technology providing collaboration with leaders in University research, Business and access to intellectual capital. The Center of Innovation for Aerospace is the state of Georgia's "one-stop-shop" aerospace industry authority.
With Savannah’s Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation leading the way, more than 83,000 employees working in 530 establishments. Those numbers put Georgia in the nation’s top 10 states for aerospace and aviation employment according to the latest report issued in November 2002 by the Commission on the Future of the U.S. Aerospace Industry. In addition, the report placed Atlanta among the top five metropolitan areas based on industry employment, wages, payroll and establishments.
A leader in aerospace intellectual capital, Georgia offers companies unique opportunities to accelerate their research and development and establish more effective best practices through participation in the Aerospace Innovation Center in Warner Robins. To develop cutting edge technologies and stay ahead of the competition, center members work with some of the world’s best and brightest minds through the innovation center’s partnerships with the University System of Georgia, private institutions and companies and the Warner Robins Air Logistics Center.
New research initiatives and start-up enterprises are supported through the center’s incubator program, and more established companies are prospering through innovative programs created to meet their evolving needs in the transforming aerospace industry.
