The Georgia Tech Research Institute is a research organization focused on applied technology, security, and system solutions for government and business clients. It employs over 3,000 staff across more than twenty locations in the United States and operates specialized laboratories in aerospace, cybersecurity, sensors, and electromagnetic studies.
The institute has existed for more than 86 years as part of Georgia Tech, growing from the need to convert academic research into practical solutions for government and industry. It expanded significantly to include multiple laboratories and field offices across the nation.
The institute functions as a bridge between academic research and real-world application for government and industry needs. Teams here bring together different expertise to turn scientific ideas into working solutions that solve actual problems.
The main location is situated in the midtown area of Atlanta, with an additional facility in Cobb County north of the city. Visitors can contact the headquarters at 250 14th Street or check the website to learn about current projects and visiting arrangements.
The institute manages Georgia's Agricultural Research Technology Program, focusing on poultry production, which is a major industry for the state's economy. This practical focus on local industries sets it apart from many large research organizations.
