Silicon Peach
Silicon Peach is a term used to refer to Atlanta, Ga. and the concentration of high tech development in the area. The term is a continuation of the reference following Silicon Valley (California), Silicon Alley (New York), then Silicon Beach (Los Angeles). Atlanta has long been a high tech center. Some of the traditional engines of technology development in Atlanta have been the ATDC at the Georgia Institute of Technology and the Technology Association of Georgia (TAG).[1] New centers of innovation and technology acceleration are emerging, including the recent launch of the Atlanta Tech Village;[2] the Ponce City Market; Tech Square Labs;[3] and the Flatiron Accelerator.[4]
