Today’s innovation often takes place at the intersection of disciplines. Georgia Tech's research enterprise encourages the kinds of transdisciplinary collaboration that make these advances possible. By bridging basic and applied research to commercialization, we’re helping create new research areas and building the foundations for industries of the future. At Georgia Tech you will see that research and innovation are everywhere. Its part of almost everything we do. Teams of faculty, students, and researchers throughout our six colleges, 11 interdisciplinary research institutes, the Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI), and hundreds of research labs and centers are pushing the boundaries of science and technology every day. With a “get it done attitude,” we’ve broken down the barriers between research units to provide federal agencies, companies, state agencies, private organizations and others with the results they need from research investments. As a result, Georgia Tech consistently ranks among the top U.S. universities in the volume of research conducted, and in 2019, attracted more than $1 billion to help address critical challenges in computing, engineering, design, the sciences, liberal arts, business, and other areas. New initiatives in enterprise-level artificial intelligence, advanced manufacturing, quantum technologies, and hypersonics are helping meet critical national goals. Georgia Tech’s research engine powers an innovation ecosystem that produces startup companies and fuels innovation that attracts more than $100 million in industry research each year. Our ATDC incubator accelerates the formation of Georgia-based technology startups, which have so far attracted more than $3 billion in investment capital and generated more than $12 billion in revenue.
