Our Future Starts   Now  

For over a century, the Georgia Chamber has helped businesses and communities navigate change, mitigate risk, and capitalize on opportunities for growth. As we look ahead, we recognize that Georgia’s economy, workforce, and infrastructure must evolve to meet the challenges and opportunities of the next 25 years.

Georgia|2050 is a bold, strategic initiative designed to ensure that Georgia remains a beacon of economic opportunity through long-term planning and proactive investment. In a rapidly shifting global economy, businesses, educators, and policymakers must anticipate workforce needs, infrastructure demands, and demographic changes to sustain growth and competitiveness.

Why 2050?

When industries invest in Georgia, they are not thinking about the next five years—they are planning for the next 25 to 50 years. The same applies to critical infrastructure projects, educational pipelines, and workforce development strategies. By 2050, Georgia will add 2.5 million more residents and 3.1 million new jobs. Ensuring that our workforce is prepared, our communities are connected, and our industries are positioned for success is at the heart of Georgia|2050.
