By Don Campbell, RightCourse

At the 2020 Technology Association of Georgia (TAG) Summit, one of the largest technology conferences in the Southeast, TAG announced two award groups that recognized Georgia-based technology companies for their innovation, financial impact, and their efforts at spreading awareness of the state’s technology initiatives throughout the U.S. and globally.

Minding the (Value) Gap: Big Tech Inches Closer to Consumers with Google’s Smart Debit Card

By Chip Harden, Ondot Systems

A global pandemic has proved insufficient to quell Big Tech’s continued foray into financial services. The end of March brought an announcement from Microsoft that they would partner with Plaid to launch a fintech app, integrating with its Excel spreadsheet software to provide personal finance support. Last week, TechCrunch revealed Google’s intention to unveil a “smart” debit card, apparently to serve as the payment vehicle behind Google’s checking account initiative announced in November.

Need Another Bracket? Atlanta Inno’s Tech Madness is Underway

By Glen Sarvady, 154 Advisors

One of the keys to innovation is the savvy to ride a powerful marketing wave, and the folks at Atlanta Inno have found a great vehicle.

Six of this year’s 32 companies are included on TAG FinTech’s ecosystem map (and I see at least two more we should probably add), a testament to the prominence and growth of FinTech in Atlanta’s thriving tech scene.

The process is decidedly unscientific, which can …
