Imagine a nonprofit organization filled with creative people dedicated to solving some of the world's toughest problems, like helping to locate missing children by building the Internet standards that run the National Amber Alert system or developing high-tech sensors that make food safer before it reaches the grocery store.

Problem solving is what the Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) is all about. Our strength is our ability to create an atmosphere where innovation and collaboration are encouraged, and pushing the envelope is expected. GTRI research combines many ar­eas of expertise, including engineering, science, economics, policy, and technical explo­ration. More than 600 scientists and engineers listen carefully to the complex needs of in­dustry and government, develop innovative solutions, and deliver real-world results-all while anticipating the challenges of tomorrow.

GTRI has young researchers who are passionate about new ideas and unafraid of exploring the unknown-often with incredible results. We also have many senior researchers with decades of experience who bridge different disciplines and connect the dots between the past and the future. We are not immersed in any one industry or approach, which enables us to think creatively and bring a fresh perspective to problem solving with every project.

As Georgia Tech strives to become the defining technological research university of the twenty-first century, GTRI has an integral role to play in the cutting-edge research and innovations that make this university truly great. But we need venture philanthropists who share our vision. Please join us as we continue to set the research agenda for the future, and let us put our diverse expertise to work on solving problems in your industry and on taking a fresh look at problems that affect us all.

Sincerely,

Stephen E. Cross, PhD
