Georgia AIM's vision is to drive AI adoption to lead the next revolution in U.S. manufacturing.

09/30/2026

Earlier this year, Georgia AIM attended a high school career event in Houston County featuring Warner Robins mayor LaRhonda Patrick. She told the students about a new community resource available to anyone interested in exploring technology: Warner Robins' new InnoLab.

Plans for the facility began in 2023 through partnerships with Apple and EdFarm, and it officially opened in 2025. Now, the city is working with schools and other organizations to provide training for all ages.

In a city that recognizes technology advancements aren't just for career moves, but also for national security, InnoLab represents one more way a community can embrace its strengths. Georgia AIM partner the 21st Century Partnership and Houston County Development Authority have worked hard to expand access to competitive robotics and solidify the region's reputation as an automation powerhouse. InnoLab is just one more way the region is stepping up and showing its residents what's possible.

What's Next Starts Here: Discover Manufacturing

What does modern manufacturing look like? At West Georgia Technical College, students will get a hands-on introduction to the technologies transforming the industry.

On October 1, the Georgia AIM Mobile Studio joins West Georgia Technical College's Manufacturing Day Expo, bringing emerging technologies and interactive experiences directly to students. Our team has attended this event in the past, but this year will be the debut of the Georgia AIM Mobile Studio, and we're excited that so many high school students will be able to experience it!

From robotics and smart technology to new career possibilities, the future of manufacturing is something to see, explore, and experience.

Teachers are helping power Georgia's technology future.

This summer, 15 educators took part in the Middle Georgia Robotics Institute's professional development workshop, where they explored circuits, programming, robotics, and automation technologies they can bring directly into their classrooms.

Programs like this expand teachers' STEM toolboxes while helping students discover exciting opportunities in robotics, coding, engineering, advanced manufacturing, and other high-demand career fields.

Georgia AIM partners like the 21st Century Partnership are helping educators gain the skills and confidence needed to introduce emerging technologies in the classroom. The result is more students across Middle Georgia gaining exposure to STEM careers, developing problem-solving skills, and exploring pathways into Georgia's growing technology and manufacturing sectors.

Building tomorrow's workforce starts by equipping today's educators.

Have you seen the news?

Georgia recently invested $6.5 million in new Electric Vehicle and Mechatronics labs at Central Georgia Technical College's Milledgeville campus.

This investment builds on progress already underway. Two years ago, Georgia AIM helped launch a manufacturing robotics lab at CGTC, creating new opportunities for hands-on learning in advanced manufacturing technologies. Today, expanded training in mechatronics, automation, EV technologies, and industrial systems is helping prepare the next generation of skilled workers.

As Georgia continues to attract manufacturing investment and lead in advanced technologies, strong workforce training programs like these are critical to keeping our state competitive.

Congratulations to CGTC and all the partners helping strengthen Georgia's innovation ecosystem.

What's the best first AI project for a manufacturer?

Start with one process on one production line. Rather than attempting a company-wide rollout, focus on a single area where you can measure results.

Potential use cases include:
• Searching maintenance manuals with AI
• Automating work-order creation
• Improving troubleshooting and repair instructions
• Identifying unusual equipment behavior before breakdowns occur

Small projects often create the momentum needed for larger transformation.

What does workforce development look like before a student even reaches high school?

In McIntosh County, it looks like mentorship, confidence-building, communication skills, and community investment.

A recent Enterprise Innovation Institute (EI²) story highlights the Anchor Up program, which works with sixth-grade students to develop leadership and workplace skills through mentoring and hands-on learning opportunities. The program focuses on qualities employers consistently say are important, including communication, confidence, integrity, gratitude, leadership, and work ethic.

As communities across Georgia prepare for future growth, initiatives like Anchor Up demonstrate why economic development is about more than buildings and businesses. It's also about preparing people for the opportunities ahead.

Georgia AIM is proud to be part of the broader EI² family, supporting the innovation, workforce, and community development efforts that help Georgia communities thrive.

Most small business owners don't think cybersecurity applies to them... until they learn what's at stake.

After connecting with Georgia AIM and participating in a cybersecurity assessment, entrepreneur Noelle Ross discovered new ways to protect her business, employees, and future growth.

💬 "It's made me understand how to protect myself as well as protect my employees."

AI. Cybersecurity. Innovation. They're not just for large companies.

They're tools that can help businesses of every size succeed.

You don't have to be a technology company to benefit from AI and cybersecurity learning opportunities.

Metro Atlanta entrepreneur Noelle Ross, founder of Sweet Ross, connected with Georgia AIM through events, networking opportunities, and a cybersecurity site-assistance visit offered through the Georgia Cyber Innovation and Training Center.

The experience changed how she thinks about protecting her business. "It's made me understand how to protect myself as well as protect my employees," she says.

The cybersecurity assessment helped her see risks and opportunities she hadn't previously considered, while Georgia AIM programming introduced her to new ways AI can support business growth.

Her advice? "If you're willing to show up for yourself, then they'll show up for you."

Whether you're a manufacturer, entrepreneur, startup founder, or small business owner, Georgia AIM offers opportunities to learn about emerging technologies and connect with experts who can help you put them to work.
