The Southeast stands out as a vibrant and fast-growing tech hub, with cities like Atlanta leading the way in innovation, investment, and job creation. Major tech companies—including Microsoft, Google, Mailchimp, and NCR—are establishing offices in Atlanta, while the region sees rapid growth in sectors like fintech, cybersecurity, healthcare tech, and electric vehicles. This dynamic environment makes the Southeast an increasingly attractive destination for tech professionals and business leaders and highlights the need for MBAs who can help shape the future of technology in the region.
The Southeast MBA Tech Summit began as a Technology Club initiative to connect MBA students with the region’s expanding tech opportunities. Recognizing this momentum, the summit quickly evolved into a partnership among the Technology Clubs of Georgia Tech, Emory University, Vanderbilt University, Duke University, and the University of North Carolina – Chapel Hill.
