TAG Business & Technology Alliance

Mission

The Business and Technology Alliance of TAG is focused on addressing the challenges of today's fast paced marketplace by bringing together business leaders and technology innovators to address key business issues. Our mission is to foster business innovation through the exploration of technological advancements and the ways in which these technologies can help corporations in all industries to solve complex problems and be more competitive.

Background & Membership

B&TA was organized in 1981 and is the most tenured of the many technology industry trade associations in Georgia. Its consistent mission has been fostering innovation. In 1998, B&TA became a founding society of the Technology Association of Georgia.
