LIVE EVENT
GCN Investor Conference in Newport Beach, CA
OCT 15 · NEWPORT BEACH, CA
LIVE EVENT
A research university with exceptional depth in public health, sitting inside Atlanta's growing technology economy.
Emory's Rollins School of Public Health and its medical school give it unusual depth in health research, reinforced by its proximity to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta.
That combination produces a research base weighted toward therapeutics, diagnostics, and health systems rather than consumer technology.
Atlanta has become one of the more substantial technology centres in the American South, with particular strength in financial technology — a large share of national payments infrastructure is operated by companies headquartered in the region.
Emory contributes primarily on the health side, while Georgia Tech anchors the engineering and software side of the same ecosystem.
Emory-linked companies concentrate in therapeutics, diagnostics, and health services, with a licensing record in antiviral research that is notable by any standard.
Business school alumni are also visible in Atlanta's financial technology and healthcare services sectors.
Atlanta's investor base includes fintech-focused funds, healthcare investors, and a growing set of generalist early-stage firms.
The city's corporate base — payments, healthcare, logistics — also provides corporate venture and strategic capital.
GCN’s global network includes millions of startups and founders and a broad community of investors, creating opportunities to discover potential connections across university communities.
