The "Top 40" will be awarded based on specific criteria including; degree of innovation, scope and financial impact of innovation, likelihood of success, and promotion of Georgia's innovative efforts nationally and internationally. Eligible companies will be Georgia based, and be viewed as "technology" focused (in other words the companies primary focus would be the development and dissemination of technology).
From the "Top 40", the Selection Committee will also choose the Top 10 Most Innovative technology companies, which will present to the Summit’s 700+ attendees at the event. The "Top 40" companies will participate in an exhibition at the Summit, expected to draw the State's technology leaders.
