The Partnership for Inclusive Innovation supports community research across the State of Georgia by engaging a network of researchers, community leaders, and key stakeholders to advance local initiatives for innovation. Many of the projects are supported through the Georgia Smart Communities Challenge, a program that provides community research assistance by activating collaborations between researchers and municipalities to explore innovative uses of technology and data in pursuit of prosperity for all. Georgia Smart has supported 20 community research projects across the state.
The Partnership for Inclusive Innovation believes new ideas come from anywhere and everywhere, but that the opportunity to innovate has not been shared equally. By democratizing access to funding and support networks through resources across business, research universities and government, the Partnership advances all Georgians by supporting those with vision.
