We are focused on leading technology initiatives that promote growth and provide lasting benefits to Georgia. By uniting our members and harnessing their collective influence, we will advocate for technology-driven public policy initiatives.
We will educate both state residents and government officials on the advantages of technology, while offering expert insights from industry leaders. We are confident that Georgia is on the verge of becoming the foremost hub for technological innovation in the United States, positioning our state to attract top talent and substantial investment, thereby fostering a prosperous future for all.
Mission & Use Cases to Pursue in GA
Blockchain technology, combined with AI, can enhance privacy protection while ensuring data security and reliability. Techniques like data encryption and anonymizing data can help build trust in areas such as authorization management, access control, data protection, network security, and scalability. We have highlighed use cases that we believe will help Georgia stay innovative and growing economically.
Fintech
Georgia is an epicenter for fintech. 70% of all US transactions are handled by payment processing firms located in Georgia. The state's 'Transaction Alley' is comprised of more than 200 companies offering banking, blockchain, information security, and data analytics services. To keep us leading the FinTech industry, we need to innovate both in AI and blockchain for FinTech and launch new businesses in Web3 and DeFi.

Public Sector
Goverments around the world are increasingly recognizing AI's potential to transform public-sector systems, offering new opportunities to enhance service delivery and decision-making. However, this also presents challenges around implementation, transparency, and accountability. If AI and blockchain can become more integrated into governance in Georgia, it has the potential to reshape how public services are provided and how decisions are made, driving great efficiency and effectiveness in government operations. Ideas we should consider for our state are voting systems to improve transparency and trust in elections, smart traffic systems, digital identity, DMV records, and licensing of any kind.
