The Center of Innovation helps Georgia businesses clear the path to innovation and growth. It is helpful to have a partner in the process of growing your venture instead of navigating the process solo. Since that can be an intimidating goal, here are some frequently asked questions that we have come across over the years — from the cost of engagement to where the center is located, we’ve tried to anticipate your curiosities.
What does a typical engagement with the Center of Innovation look like?

There isn’t a standard process we follow, as each team in our specific areas of focus works to understand a business’s needs and looks for resources and connections to help provide a pathway to success. However, most engagements with the Center of Innovation typically begin with a consultation-type meeting where we seek to learn more about your business and current challenges and opportunities. 

Can I come visit the Center of Innovation?

Our team doesn’t have an “innovation center” where you can visit and tour. Rather, our approach is to be wherever your business needs us. In short, we bring the innovation center to you, no matter where you’re located in Georgia.
