Launched in 2020, the Partnership for Innovation (PIN) is a public-private catalyst positioning Georgia and the Southeastas a national leader in innovation, opportunity, and shared prosperity. We focus on two big, complementary areas:
Emerging Innovators, where paid summer internships and annual fellowships provide talent-as-a-servicehands-on, experiential learning that accelerates careers while advancing innovation in communities; and Local P3s, where we co-create solutions with partners through multidisciplinary research, technologies, and services to drive growth and economic development.

Since launch, PIN has implemented 220 projects across 300+ communities with 200+ partners, deployed nearly 200 technologies and innovations, and for every $1 invested, generated an additional $5.23 back into the ecosystem. Along the way, we've helped create new businesses, expand access to social and financial capital, and scale community-driven solutions in partnership with local governments, universities, startups, and nonprofits.
