Our Georgia Technology Summit, which should draw 1000 people, is slated for March 3rd, 2009.  Our theme is “Energy of Innovation”.  I would love to find a top speaker who has developed a disruptive technology on energy or has a disruptive vision (e.g. T. Boone Pickens) in respect to changing the world (for the better), and how we act and think about energy.  Feel free to respond with names and ideas.  If you have a contact and can open a door, even better.  TAG has given out a “Captain of Innovation” award in the past, so that is a possibility if we can pull in the right person.  Ted Turner has been a past winner of the award. Thanks, in advance, for your feedback.

Carol Coletta is the President of CEOs for Cities.  I had the opportunity to hear her speak on August 8th at the TECNA (Technology Councils of North America) conference.  She reinforced some of the things that I, and others, have been thinking about.  Carol stated “Most job growth comes from home grown businesses”.  I assume that we, as Georgians, know this intuitively, so why does our state (and others states for that matter), chambers, and other private and public institutions go for “the big game hunt”.  By that I mean the chase for the small and big companies in China, India, and other parts of the world, and in other parts in the USA?  I am not a proponent of turning our collective Georgia backs on recruitment of companies to settle in GA, but I do think there is a disproportionate amount of time, and energy on recruitment as opposed to “economic gardening” (organic growth).  Consider the cost of human and financial capital to recruit one company to GA.  Now; what if we took 80% of those resources and applied them to a totally focus to on helping young GA companies?  What do they need – talent; relief from any policy encumbrances that inhibit growth; and an infrastructure that provides a systematic approach to mentor and fund our entrepreneurs.  I think it comes back to the need to have a comprehensive plan for growth versus a catch-as-catch -can.  What do you think?

Vote for TAG member company SoloHealth for Forbes Boost Your Business.
ATDC’s SoloHealth is racking up initial sales and continuing to be recognized as one of the nation’s most promising early stage ventures, recently selected as a semifinalist in Forbe’s Boost your Business contest.
SoloHealth was a participant in ATDC’s CapVenture program where CEO Bart Foster was recognized for delivering the “perfect Pitch.”
See Bart in action in the 30 second video pitch that Bart recorded for this contest and vote for this promising Georgia startup, the only Georgia-based startup in the semi-finals.  http://www.forbes.com/byb/2008/byb08_solohealth.html (Video)
Voting is for a good cause also - SoloHealth would use the $100,000 to develop an EyeSite version to be used in public schools. According to Prevent Blindness America, 1 in 4 school children in the U.S. have an undiagnosed eye issue. SoloHealth can help change this.
