Whatever your industry, the U.S. state of Georgia has much to offer for businesses looking to relocate or expand.

Georgia’s transportation network is unparalleled. With its central location in the Southeast, companies can reach 80 percent of the U.S. market in a two-hour flight or two-day truck haul. Hartsfield–Jackson International Airport is consistently the world’s busiest. Georgia’s ports are also a standout: the Port of Savannah is the fastest-growing in the United States, with a more than 20 percent increase in container traffic in 2007.

Georgia hosts important connections for international businesses. More than 60 countries have consular, trade, or bi-national chambers of commerce in the state. Moreover, Georgia has 10 offices across the globe.

As a state with a diversified economy, Georgia offers a balance of traditional industries such as agriculture, automotive, pulp and paper, and textiles alongside cutting-edge sectors like aerospace, biosciences, and information technology. In order to foster its key industries, Georgia has formed six Centers of Innovation, housed by the Georgia Department of Economic Development. Covering aerospace, agriculture, energy, life sciences, logistics, and manufacturing, these centers foster growth by sharing knowledge with businesses and entrepreneurs.
