Industries in Georgia 

Industries in Georgia’s pro-business environment operate in a strategic U.S. hub for domestic and global commerce. They are able to lower their operating costs, gain easy access to global markets, mitigate business risk, and leverage a smart, stable and well-trained workforce of 4.7 million workers.

The 14 Fortune 500 companies headquartered here, as well as the 32 Fortune 1000 businesses and the thousands of international companies in Georgia industries, succeed in large part due to Georgia’s cost-free Quick Start program. Low corporate tax rates and an unbeatable logistics and transportation infrastructure also give Georgia businesses a competitive edge. Georgia’s commercial transportation network includes 4,700 miles of railway, 118,777 miles of top-ranked public highways, the world’s busiest and most efficient airport and air cargo leader, and two deep-water sea ports in Savannah and Brunswick that ship to 153 countries.

In addition, companies in all industries are able to develop new business with the help of experts in Georgia’s Department of Economic Development. They provide businesses with research and data. They also open doors within the U.S. and around the world via 10 international offices that service programs to help penetrate global markets.
