In order for the economy of Georgia to grow, new and exciting businesses must be incubated and nurtured. As a major player in the global marketplace, Georgia companies must stay ahead of changes in industry and innovation in order to become a leading provider of goods and services in the future.
However, the Chamber believes many businesses in our state are suffering from a lack of adequate capital. In particular, Georgia is losing many new and early-stage technology startup companies due to insufficient access to local capitol sources. These resources are vital in order for the creation of new methods and products to meet consumer and business needs.
Many of the companies that are hurt by this environment are Georgia-based companies that see a need in their industry and are looking to expand in order to fill that need. There is also the issue of attracting new businesses to our state by providing the proper means to grow a new company. Many of these start-ups could become major economic engines for our state, benefiting the entire business community.
To address this challenge, and to help retain technology and jobs created in Georgia, the Chamber supports:
Our goal, in being creative with available capitol and resources, is to make Georgia one of the friendliest and most desirable locations for technology and business expansion in the world.
