Information Technology
Information technology continues to have a revolutionary impact on businesses in virtually every sector. The IT sector is projected to have consistently strong growth as businesses continue to rely on innovative software, hardware, Internet, and data processing and disaster recovery needs. Gwinnett offers significant opportunity for growth and expansion in this sector.
Data Centers, in particular, can take advantage of industry specific assets in Gwinnett and North Metro Atlanta. From extensive fiber optic infrastructure, competitive power rates and multiple providers to diverse location options that include existing raised-floor facilities, discrete green space and everything in between, North Metro Atlanta cultivates a thriving and optimal Data Center business environment.

Gwinnett has a healthy private sector IT presence, creating opportunities to sustain strong growth potential. Key to growth will be providing support structures for local IT firms and individuals with the potential to expand or create new ventures.
Advanced Communications
This target is about retaining and leveraging existing computer and electronic product manufacturing and electrical equipment and appliance manufacturing employment, R&D, wireless and wire-line communications, and other strengths related to this rapidly-changing industry.
Gwinnett has also embarked on a regional and statewide initiative to brand Digital Entertainment in Georgia. In focusing more strategically on a cluster industry of digital Entertainment, Gwinnett - along with regional & statewide economic developers - created a Gaming Assets Map to showcase all gaming organizations, companies, educational institutions and support facilities currently doing business in the state of Georgia.
Gwinnett’s assets in these related sectors are strong, and worthy of a targeted effort to:
(1) Ensure companies continue to be satisfied with their Gwinnett location
(2) Expand their presence in the County; and
(3) Help grow additional local economic opportunities
Technological innovation characterizes these sub-sectors more so than most others, thus Gwinnett will also have to focus on local and regional R&D assets for growth.
