ATDC launches North Star AI Labs and celebrates 2026 graduates

The Advanced Technology Development Center (ATDC) at Georgia Tech has announced the public launch of North Star AI Labs. This initiative aims to provide Georgia entrepreneurs with access to artificial intelligence tools, technical talent, and an innovation community. Designed to bridge the gap for small businesses that lack access to university-level infrastructure, the lab offers hands-on programming, coworking opportunities, and a talent matching platform to connect founders with AI engineers.

Additionally, ATDC recognized its 2026 graduating class of eight technology startups during a ceremony in Atlanta. These companies, which operate in sectors including healthcare, financial services, cybersecurity, and artificial intelligence, have collectively raised nearly $40 million in investment. The graduating cohort includes Cyrano Video, Doc2Doc Lending, OMNY Health, Skunk Skin, Vertice AI, and Vouch.io.
