Advanced Technology Development Center
The Advanced Technology Development Center (ATDC) is a science and business incubator in Georgia. It is run by the Georgia Institute of Technology, and is headquartered in Technology Square.[1] ATDC was formed in 1980 to stimulate growth in Georgia's technology business base, and admitted its first member company in 1981.[2] It now has locations in Atlanta and Savannah.
More than 100 companies started there, including firms such as MindSpring (now part of EarthLink) and TransNexus.[3] Sponsored companies have created almost 51,000 man-years of employment, generated over $12.7 billion revenue, generated over $100 million in profit to Georgia, and raised over $1 billion in venture capital since 1999.[4] ATDC has been recognized by Inc. Magazine and Business Week as one of the nation's top incubators, and won several other awards.[4][5][6]
