Georgia has a running start in the race toward applying new energy resources and environmental solutions to contemporary economic concerns. 

The Centers of Innovation is the central source for Accelerating Business Growth in georgia through Innovation and technology providing collaboration with leaders in University research, Business and access to intellectual capital. The Center of Innovation for Energy focuses on expanding and strengthening the state of Georgia's bioenergy industry.

The state’s willingness to explore cutting-edge energy sources, such as liquefied natural gas from Elba Island off the coast of Savannah, is just one example of how technology advances in energy production can stimulate efficiency and increase business profits, including yours.

Want to be green? Many government partnerships allow companies like yours to increase productivity while conserving resources. The Georgia Department of Natural Resources, for example, provides free, confidential technical assistance on cost-effective ways to conserve resources while streamlining production. The state also works with leaders in business and education to promote the care of Georgia’s natural resources.

In Georgia, careful water and land management is a priority. The Georgia Planning Act safeguards the state’s wetlands, watersheds, stream corridor, and higher mountain elevations, where many drinking-water sources originate. And, in addition to creating important recreational areas, the Georgia Community Greenspace Program preserves 20 percent of land in rapidly growing counties.

All these programs help to ensure that Georgia’s exceptional quality of life will be enjoyed for generations to come.
