About
Technology Association of Georgia has launched Bridge Builders to remove the walls impeding progress and diversity in Georgia. Bridge Builders is a Social Justice & Equity initiative designed to bring the technology and business community together to drive change.
TAG Connect
TAG Bridge Builders has developed TAG Connect, an event that connects minority (BIPOC and other disadvantaged Georgians) tech entrepreneurs (sellers) with access to procurement opportunities from buyers. In a shark-tank style sales presentation, each entrepreneur will have the opportunity to present their products or services directly to corporate decision-makers.
TAG Connect – Meet the Buyers Lunch Session
The TAG Connect- Meet the Buyers Lunch Session will consist of a lunch meeting where the Buyers (your organization) can share with the Sellers what you are looking for from a supplier. During this session, the Buyers present strategic initiatives, problem statements, technology interests, and more. The session is designed with the goal of sellers leaving with opportunities for later alignment in preparation to presenting at the main TAG Connect event.
