The Need for Change
As the tech industry has expanded in the North metro Atlanta area, so too has the organization’s reach. With increasing participation from tech companies, professionals, and sponsors based in various neighboring communities such as Cherokee, Gwinnett, and Forsyth counties, it became clear that a name reflecting this wider scope was essential.

Community Engagement Takes Center Stage
The rebrand is a significant milestone that acknowledges the active involvement of local tech executives and companies in the organization’s initiatives. Regardless of the name change, the core mission remains intact: to foster technology and innovation while supporting startups and educational programs. Tech North Atlanta continues to operate from its current facilities, where it provides resources including education, workshops, and incubator opportunities essential for burgeoning technology ventures.
In Cashion's words, "Our new identity better represents the broader community that is actively engaged and supports tech growth across North Atlanta." The organization has long been the hub of tech development, and this renewed focus seeks to further enhance its commitment to nurturing innovation within a stronger, collective identity.
Continued Partnerships and Success
The strategic advisory board, which is composed of influential figures from the North Atlanta tech scene, has played a vital role in the rebranding decision. According to Bob Toupin, Chairman of the Board, the new name signifies the board’s excitement for this next chapter, reinforcing the organization’s dedication to excellence while enhancing its visibility and reach. The supportive relationships fostered through partnerships with various stakeholders have been key to the ongoing success of Tech North Atlanta.
